                                BILL NUMBER:S5745

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the social services law, in relation to kinship guardian
assistance payments

PURPOSE:
To ensure that destitute children are included among the categories of
children who would he eligible for the kinship guardian program.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section one of the hill would expand the definition of a child to
include children who come into care through Article 10-c of the
Family Court Act, which is the court proceeding for destitute children.

Section two of the bill would provide that no subsidy agreement may he
put into place by the district prior to a fact-finding and permanency
hearing in an Article 10-c proceeding.

Section three would provide that the bill would take effect on the
same date and in the same manner as a chapter of the laws of 2011, as
proposed by A.7836-A.

JUSTIFICATION:

Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2010 established the Kinship Guardianship
Assistance Program to assist in moving children out of foster care
and into permanency. The program provides subsidies to eligible
relative caretakers Upon an order of guardianship by the Family
Court. Such financial assistance enables grandparents and other
relatives to care for children who cannot be returned home or adopted.

The recently enacted destitute child law establishes a proceeding for
children without a parent to sufficiently care for them, to enter
foster care with court oversight. Despite its many benefits to
destitute children, the law did not clarify that such children could
be eligible for subsidized kinship guardianship. This bill would make
such clarification, thereby expanding the potential permanency
options for destitute children.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This bill will become effective on the same date and in the same
manner as a chapter of the laws of 2011, as proposed by A.7836-A. The
sections of the bill which are amended would take place on the same
date and in the same manner as the chapter of 2010 establishing the
subsidized Kinship Guardianship Program.
