What changed in the latest version
11 added · 6 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendment to SB 1391 adds the specific requirement that a guardian ad litem be appointed for children involved in dependency actions as early as possible in the legal process. It also emphasizes the rights of these children to be informed about, present at, and heard during any proceedings regarding their care or possible termination of parental rights. This change is important because it ensures that children's voices are recognized and considered during legal proceedings that affect their lives.
