TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the family court act, in relation to
the supervision of persons with custody of protected children

PURPOSE:

This bill would authorize family courts to make any order allowable
under the law to ensure the health, safety and well being of a child
under the court's jurisdiction regardless of who has custody of the
child.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

This bill amends multiple provisions of the Family Court Act, to
clarify that non-respondent parents that are granted custody of a
child who is the subject of a child protective proceeding may be
subject to court orders governing their custody of the child. The
amendments also expand the kinds of order the Family Court may issue
against a child's custodian to include orders allowable under section
255 of the Family Court Act, which allows the court to require the
cooperation of any state or local government official for the purpose
of effectuating the objectives of the Act, and section 1015-a of the
Act, which allows courts to order any social services official to
assist the court in protecting the child, rehabilitating the child's
family, and discharging the child from foster care.

JUSTIFICATION:

Local social services agencies, such as the New York City
Administration for Children's Services (ACS), are charged with
monitoring and ensuring the safety and well-being of all children
under its care and supervision. In some instances, judges release
children under the supervision of ACS to non-respondent parents, or
parents who are not the subject of a child welfare investigation While
respondent parents are under the supervision of court orders, current
law does not explicitly allow judges to place parents who are not the
subject of the child welfare case under the jurisdiction of the court.
As a result, local social services agencies have a limited ability to
supervise the homes in which children are residing during the course
of a child welfare court proceeding. This bill would clearly authorize
the Court to make any order allowable under the law to ensure the
health, safety and well-being of a child under the court's
jurisdiction no matter who has custody of the child

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

None.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Undetermined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
