Bill overview
This bill creates a process for courts to potentially reinstate parental rights that have been previously terminated. It allows for a review after at least three years have passed since the termination, and only if the child is over 14 or if they have a sibling over 14 also seeking reinstatement. The process involves a court hearing, investigation, and consideration of the child’s best interests, including factors like the parent’s fitness and the child’s preferences.
