BILL NUMBER: S7930 SPONSOR: SALAZAR TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the family court act, in relation to eliminating the use of the term incorrigible PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill is intended to eliminate the stigma of being labelled as "incorrigible" in Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS) proceedings. This is a term that, at least, implicitly and in practice singles out girls of color for not matching expectations of stereotypical "feminine" behavior and labels them as "uncorrectable" or unreformable". SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 712 of the Family Court Act by deleting the word "incorrigible".
