BILL NUMBER:S7707
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
