Bill overview
Senate Bill 450 expands California’s court jurisdiction for adopting minors. It allows courts to adopt children even if a legal process to remove them from their biological parents isn’t required and when the adoption proceedings are initiated in California. The bill also clarifies that adoption orders must include the names of all parents involved, and requires petitioners seeking adoption from out-of-state homes to provide complete and compliant documentation. This bill aims to streamline the adoption process while ensuring the well-being of the child.
