BILL NUMBER:S6813 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation to consents to medical treatment for destitute children placed in foster care by the family court This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of the Chief Administrative Judge upon the recommendation of her Family Court Advisory and Rules Committee. Article 10-C of the Family Court Act was enacted to ensure that a destitute child - defined in section 1092(a) of the Family Court Act as a child "in a state of want or suffering due to lack of sufficient food, clothing, shelter, or medical or surgical care" - would receive the judicial oversight, services and, where placement out of the home is necessary, permanency planning efforts that are afforded to all other categories of youth in foster care. See L. 2011, c. 605; L. 2012, c. 3. As part of that enactment, section 398(1)(c) of the Social Services Law was amended to direct social services officials to "assume charge of and provide care and support" for destitute children who cannot remain at home, petitioning the court where necessary for temporary custody during the pendency of the case and placement as a disposition. See Family Court Act §§ 1094,1095. Significantly, in order to qualify for Federal foster care assistance under Title 1V-E of the Social Security Act, destitute children, who require temporary or long-term placement out of their homes, must be treated identically
