2009 House Bill 4535

Senate Roll Call 55: Passed

To revise the conditions that determine whether a parents’ parental rights may be terminated. Under current law, having already had parental rights voluntarily terminated for another child can be grounds for termination. The bill would specify that the earlier termination had to be for actual child abuse or abandonment.
