New York S08204 ensures no person is excluded from being a "prospective relative guardian" based on the timing of their relationship with the child.
New York S08204 amends the Social Services Law and Family Court Act to redefine "prospective relative guardian." The bill ensures that no person is precluded from being deemed a "prospective relative guardian" based on whether their relationship with the child was established before or after the child's placement into foster care. This change aims to provide more flexibility in identifying suitable guardians for children in foster care.
