A. for a child who is at least 16 years old, services needed to
help the child's transition from guardianship to independence; or
B. for a child with a disability, services to obtain ongoing
care, if any, needed after the guardianship case ends; and
8. may co-commit the child to the custody of the Department
of Health and Mental Hygiene and order the Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene to provide a plan for the child of clinically appropriate services in the least
restrictive setting, in accordance with federal and State law;
(iii) if entered under § 5-322 of this subtitle, shall state each party's
response to the petition;
(iv) shall state a specific factual finding on whether reasonable
efforts have been made to finalize the child's permanency plan;
(v) shall state whether the child's parent has waived the right to
notice; and
(vi) shall set a date, no later than 180 days after the date of the
order, for the initial guardianship review hearing under § 5-326 of this subtitle.
(C) A JUVENILE COURT SHALL SEND A COPY OF AN ORDER ENTERED UNDER
THIS SECTION TO:
(1) EACH PARTY OR IF REPRESENTED, COUNSEL;
(2) EACH OF THE CHILD'S LIVING PARENTS WHO HAS NOT WAIVED THE
RIGHT TO NOTICE;
(3) EACH LIVING PARENT'S LAST ATTORNEY OF RECORD IN THE CINA
CASE; AND
(4) THE CHILD'S LAST ATTORNEY OF RECORD IN THE CINA CASE.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b)(1) of this section are amended to
provide for CINA case orders to be separate from guardianship orders, to
minimize the amount of confidential information disclosed in the event of
an appeal.
Subsection (c) of this section is added to specify for whom a juvenile court
is to be responsible for giving a copy of an order denying or granting
guardianship, thereby ensuring notice to a parent who has consented but
not waived notice and, if not the same attorneys in the guardianship case,
the child's and parent's last attorneys of record in the CINA case.
