BILL NUMBER:S5261 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the family court act, in relation to not requiring compliance with the interstate compact on the placement of children when placing children with relatives or other suitable persons PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to amend provisions in Family Court Act Article Ten so that unnecessary and time-consuming compliance with the Interstate Compact on the placement of Children (ICPC) is not required by the family court when it releases a child to the custody of an out- of-state parent or other relative or a suitable unrelated person. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends Family Court Act § 1017(2)(a)(i) to state that when the family court grants an order of custody or guardianship to a non-respon- dent parent or other relative or a suitable unrelated person pursuant to Family Court Act § 1055-b, compliance with the ICPC, as codified in Social Services Law § 374-a, shall not be required. Section 2 amends Family Court Act § 1055-b in a like manner by adding a new subdivision (f) which states that when the court issues an order granting custody of guardianship pursuant to § 1055-d, compliance with the ICPC shall not be required.
