AN ACT RELATING TO DELINQUENT AND DEPENDENT CHILDREN -- PROCEEDINGS IN FAMILY COURT

Summary

The bill changes state law so that the family court can keep supervising children who are delinquent, dependent, or in foster care beyond age 18, up to age 21, and in some COVID‑related situations up to age 22. It requires transition plans for housing, education, health and employment, and lets eligible young adults choose to stay under court supervision while they finish school or work. The goal is to give vulnerable youth more support as they move toward adulthood.
