The bill expands the jurisdiction of juvenile courts in child welfare proceedings. It allows juvenile courts to make permanent allocations of parental responsibilities without a full adjudication for each parent to determine neglect or dependency. Instead, at least one parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian requires an adjudication or continued adjudication. The bill also allows juvenile courts to order name changes for children and youth in dependency and neglect cases and foster youth in transition cases, similar to district and county courts, and removes the requirement to provide public notice of name changes for children or youth who have been found to be neglected or dependent, or are being assessed for neglect or dependency.
