BILL NUMBER: S9778

SPONSOR: SEPULVEDA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to duty owed by
certain agencies to children in the legal custody of the agencies; and
to amend the court of claims act, in relation to extending jurisdiction
to certain claims for injuries to a child in the legal custody of the
state

 
PURPOSE:

To clarify the law on special relationship and duty as it applies in
foster care, and codify existing Court of Appeals and Appellate Division
precedents establishing that municipalities in New York owe a nondelega-
ble duty of care to children in governmental custody who are placed in
foster homes, and are liable for injuries to such children caused by
negligence in foster care placement or supervision, whether by the muni-
cipalities themselves or their contracting agencies: and to amend the
court of Claims Act, in relation to extending jurisdiction to certain
claims for injuries to children in the State's custody.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - Amends the Family Court Act to clarify the duty owed to
minors in in governmental custody who are placed in foster homes.

Section 2 - Extends jurisdiction of the Court of Claims to certain
claims for injuries to children in the State's custody, including chil-
dren in juvenile detention and mental health placements.

Section 3 - Effective Date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

There has been misapprehension and confusion regarding the nature and
extent of the duty owed by public entities to children in their custody,
including, without limitation, children in foster care, juvenile
detention, PINS placements, and inpatient mental healthcare facilities.
The Court of Appeals in Weisbrod-Moore v. Cayuga County, 2025 N.Y. Slip
Op. 00903 (decided Feb. 18, 2025), recently held that municipalities owe
a duty of care to the children the municipalities place in foster care
because they have custody of those children. The Bill codifies this duty
owed by municipalities, the State, and other public entities to children
in their custody, and clarifies that this duty is nondelegable, such
that public entities in custody of children will be liable for negligent
acts and omissions proximately causing injuries to those children,
whether supervision or residential services were provided by the public
entity itself or a contracted agency.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S.2270-A of 2025 (Hoylman-Sigal): Died in Children and Families

S.9210E of 2024 (Hoylman-Sigal): Died in Judiciary

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

To be determined. Implications are minimal because the Bill does not
change the law but provides a codification and clarification of existing
law.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and its provisions shall be
applicable to civil claims or causes of action filed before, on, or
after the effective date.

BILL NUMBER: S9778A

SPONSOR: SEPULVEDA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the social services law, in relation to duty owed by
certain agencies to children in the legal custody of the agencies; and
to amend the court of claims act, in relation to extending jurisdiction
to certain claims for injuries to a child in the legal custody of the
state

 
PURPOSE:

To allow for liability of certain agencies for negligence in the place-
ment of a child and to extend jurisdiction in the court of claims.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the social service law.

Section two amends the court of claims act by adding a new subdivision.

Section three provides for severability.

Section four is the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

According to data from the Crimes Against Children Research Center, 1 in
5 girls and 1 in 20 boys are victims of sexual assault. A 2003 National
Institute of Justice report found that 3 out of 4 children who have been
sexually assaulted were abused by a person they know well. Child sexual
assault is an epidemic, and the majority of survivors are so traumatized
by their abuse that it takes them decades to disclose their abuse, if
they ever do.

When the Child Victims Act was passed, government entities could be
liable for negligence in foster care under existing case law. There have
since been conflicting court decisions in this area, with some courts
granting government entities immunity for sex abuse claims arising in
foster care. This split in the courts is now creating uncertainty and
delays for wronged New Yorkers. This statutory change will clarify that
public institutions owe a duty to foster children and are liable for
their piece in the negligent placement.
