MONTGOMERY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to amend the family court act, in relation to an application of a relative to become a foster parent The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Section 1028-a of the family court act, as added by chapter 2 671 of the laws of 2005, paragraphs (iii) and (v) of subdivision (a) and 3 subdivision (c) as amended by chapter 12 of the laws of 2006, is amended 4 to read as follows: 5 § 1028-a. Application of a relative to become a foster parent. (a) 6 Upon the application of a relative to become a foster parent of a child 7 in foster care, the court shall, subject to the provisions of this 8 subdivision, hold a hearing to determine whether the child should be 9 placed with a relative in foster care. Such hearing shall only be held 10 if: 11 (i) the [relative] person is related [within the third degree of12consanguinity to either parent] to the child as described under para- 13 graph (a), (b), or (c) of subdivision three of section four hundred 14 fifty-eight-a of the social services law; 15 (ii) the child has been temporarily removed under this part, or placed 16 pursuant to section one thousand fifty-five of this article, and placed 17 in non-relative foster care; 18 (iii) the relative indicates a willingness to become the foster parent 19 for such child and has not refused previously to be considered as a 20 foster parent or custodian of the child, provided, however, that an 21 inability to provide immediate care for the child due to a lack of 22 resources or inadequate housing, educational or other arrangements 23 necessary to care appropriately for the child shall not constitute a 24 previous refusal; EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD13095-02-9S. 6405 2 1 (iv) the local social services district has refused to place the child 2 with the relative for reasons other than the relative's failure to qual- 3 ify as a foster parent pursuant to the regulations of the office of 4 children and family services; and 5 (v) the application is brought within six months from the date the 6 relative received notice that the child was being removed or had been 7 removed from his or her home and no later than twelve months from the 8 date that the child was removed. 9 (b) The court shall give due consideration to such application and 10 shall make the determination as to whether the child should be placed in 11 foster care with the relative based on the best interests of the child. 12 (c) After such hearing, if the court determines that placement in 13 foster care with the relative is in the best interests of the child, the 14 court shall direct the local commissioner of social services, pursuant 15 to regulations of the office of children and family services, to 16 commence an investigation of the home of the relative within twenty-four 17 hours and thereafter expedite approval or certification of such rela- 18 tive, if qualified, as a foster parent. No child, however, shall be 19 placed with a relative prior to final approval or certification of such 20 relative as a foster parent. 21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
