West Virginia HB4795 updates the criteria for removing a child from a foster home.

West Virginia HB4795 modifies the conditions under which a child may be removed from a foster home. The bill allows for the termination of a foster care arrangement if the foster parents do not apply to adopt the child within 30 days of the biological parents' rights being terminated, and a more beneficial placement is available. It also provides children aged 12 and older with the option to remain in their current foster care arrangement if it is deemed to be in their best interest.
