What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill adds a child's foster parent and a child in foster care who is 12 years

or older to the list of individuals that receive a copy of a permanency plan and any

written comments submitted to the agency that is preparing the permanency plan

before a permanency review and a permanency hearing. Under current law, the

agency that prepared the permanency plan is required to send a copy of the plan and

the written comments that the agency received on the plan to members of the review

panel; the child's parent, guardian, and legal custodian; the person representing the

interests of the public; the child's counsel, guardian ad litem, or court-appointed

special advocate; and, if the child is an Indian child who is placed outside the home

of his or her parent or Indian custodian, the Indian child's Indian custodian and tribe.
