SB 5452 - DIGEST
(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

Provides that, if a child has not been adopted at least three years from the date of entry of an order for the termination of parental rights, the child may petition the juvenile court to reinstate a former parent's parental rights.

Authorizes the juvenile court to grant the petition if it finds by clear and convincing evidence that the child is no longer likely to be adopted and that reinstatement of parental rights is in the child's best interest, including a finding that the reinstatement of parental rights will not present a risk to the child's health, welfare, or safety.
