Subsection (e)(2) of this section is revised in the active voice to state
expressly that which only is implied in former FL § 5-322(e)(l) - that a
petitioner has the onus to make, and satisfy a court as to, inquiries - but
the former limitation, "[f]or a petition filed by a local department of social
services", is omitted, making the onus applicable to a CINA petitioner as
well.
Subsection (e)(2)(iii) of this section is revised to "includ[e]" contact with the
"Division of Parole and Probation" as the Division is part of the State
Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services.
In subsection (f)(1) and the introductory clause of (e)(2) of this section, the
general references to "requirements" of referenced provisions are
substituted for the former references to "a reasonable, good faith effort ...
to identify the last known address of the parent" and "reasonable good
faith efforts to serve ... the parent at the addresses specified in ... this
section", for brevity.
In subsection (e)(2)(iv) of this section, the defined term "county" is
substituted for the former reference to a "local jurisdiction", for brevity and
consistency.
In subsection (e)(2)(v) of this section, the former reference to "the
jurisdiction in which the petition is filed" is omitted as unnecessary in light
of the use of the article "the".
Subsection (e)(3) and (4) of this section is revised in the active voice to state
expressly that which only was implied in former FL § 5-322(e)(2)(i) - that
a court has the onus to make a determination as to sufficiency of an
inquiry according to the presumption.
In subsection (e)(3) of this section, reference to a "governmental unit or
person" is substituted for the former references to "an identified agency"
and "the agency or person", to state expressly that governmental units are
covered - private "agencies" being within the defined term "person" - and
to reflect that a person, such as a private agency, may have computer
records.
As to a newspaper in general circulation, see Art. 1, § 28 of the Code.
Defined terms: "Caregiver" § 5-301
"Child" § 5-301
"CINA case" § 1-101
"County" § 1-101
"Department" § 5-101
"Guardianship" § 5-301
