What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows a petition to terminate parental rights (TPR) to be filed in a

proceeding in which it is alleged that a child or juvenile is in need of protection or

services (CHIPS or JIPS).

Under current law, a TPR proceeding is initiated by filing a petition with the

court assigned to exercise jurisdiction under the Children's Code (juvenile court). A

TPR petition initiates a new proceeding that is unrelated to any other ongoing

proceedings concerning the child in the juvenile court. Under this bill, a petition to

terminate parental rights may be filed in an ongoing CHIPS or JIPS proceeding for

the same child.
