Summary
This bill makes technical corrections to the new Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children, which was legislated under SS 1 for SB 71 during the 144th General Assembly. The bill also clarifies a provision under which the compact does not apply and allows for the option of receiving testimony for hearings by telephone or audio-video conference, subject to the approval of the presiding judicial officer. The new compact was developed as a collaborative effort among states to provide increased protections and services for children in the foster care system that may be placed in another state. It will become effective when ratified by thirty five states, and upon final approval of the Interstate Commission. Until such time, the existing Compact will remain in effect. Author: Senator Blevins
Title
An Act To Amend Title 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Interstate Compact For The Placement Of Children.
