Bill overview
This bill requires West Virginia courts to carefully verify specific conditions are met before returning a child who has been removed from their home. It mandates that the court assess whether the conditions that led to the removal have been adequately addressed, including parental participation in treatment programs. The bill aims to ensure the safety and well-being of children by preventing premature reunification and promoting sustainable improvements in the family environment. It also addresses situations where reunification is not appropriate due to ongoing abuse or neglect.
