EFFECT: Makes the following changes to the striking amendment:

Modifies the term "compelling reason" that triggers a youth homeless shelter to notify the Department of Children, Youth, and Families instead of a parent of the youth's presence at the shelter to specify that these reasons only include: (1) circumstances that indicate that notifying the parent or legal guardian will subject the minor to abuse or neglect; or (2) when a minor is seeking or receiving reproductive health care services (by removing gender-affirming treatment and the specification that the list is non-exhaustive).

Modifies the term "compelling reason" to mean that the youth is seeking or receiving "reproductive health care services" and not include "gender-affirming treatment" when a host home program is not required to receive parental permission for the youth's participation in the program.

Removes some intent language.
