Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

More time and court help after foster care

Family court keeps orders that told a social services district or official to help you, even after you leave care. You can file related motions before you turn 23, and the court keeps the case until all appeals end. If you are eligible under article ten-B and you agree, the court can change a motion into a request to return you to foster care. If you refused to stay in foster care and signed a notarized letter after talking with your attorney, that letter is a defense when your refusal was the only reason an order could not be followed.

Rules start 180 days after enactment

The law takes effect now, but sections 1–6 begin 180 days after it becomes law and align with a 2024 chapter. Those sections apply only to family court orders issued on or after that 180th day.
