Redraft Amendment 2

Kinship Placement

Ms. Chang-Diaz and Mr. Gomez move that the proposed new draft be amended in section 1, by striking out, in line 81, the words “no kin is available” and inserting in place thereof the following words:- “the department demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the court, that it has exercised due diligence in identifying and locating kin of a foster child, has given full and fair consideration to all potential kin and has determined that no kin is able to meet the needs of the foster child”.
