Qué contiene
Resumen con IA When children are taken into state care, agencies are usually required to try to keep siblings together. This new law says agencies do not have to follow that rule if they find that the siblings have little to no relationship with each other. This change applies to children who were already placed in the system by the state. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to the placement of siblings together when custody of the siblings has been transferred to the department of health and human services (HHS) or an agency for placement (placing agency). Under current law, HHS or a placing agency must make reasonable efforts to place siblings together whenever possible if such placement is in the best interests of each child. The bill makes the requirement to place siblings together inapplicable, and removes HHS’s requirement to place siblings together, when a child’s custody, or the child’s sibling’s custody, was previously transferred to HHS, HHS placed the child or the sibling, and HHS determined that the child and the sibling have little or no established relationship.
