Ch. 464

(II) WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE CHILD IS PLACED IN A
PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY; OR
(III) WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE CHILD IS ABSENT FROM
A PLACEMENT FOR MORE THAN A WEEK.
(4) A LOCAL DEPARTMENT SHALL GIVE A CHILD'S ATTORNEY THE
CHILD'S NEW ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER
THE ADDRESS OR TELEPHONE NUMBER CHANGES.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section is derived from
former FL § 5-317(f)(l) and (3), as it related to guardianships.
Subsection (a)(3) of this section is substituted for former FL § 5-317(f)(4),
to state expressly the scope of a local department's authority with respect
to an individual committed to the department.
Subsection (a)(4) of this section is new and added to state a specific
termination date for a CINA case.
Subsection (b) of this section is new and added to state expressly the
powers and duties of a guardian under this subtitle.
In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the word
"order" is substituted for the former, more archaic "decree".
The introductory exception in subsection (a)(1) of this section, "[e]xcept as
otherwise provided ...", is substituted for the former exception "this
section" - i.e., former FL § 5-308 - to reflect the recodification of former §
5-308(d).
In subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the former word "natural" is
omitted, to reflect that the parental rights of a nonbiological - i.e., adoptive
— parent can be terminated in the same manner as a biological parent's
can.
Former FL § 5-317(f)(2), which described guardianship as obviating the
need for notice, is omitted as unnecessary in light of the substantive
provision of the referenced former FL § 5-319 - new § 5-326.
Former FL § 5-318, which barred consent to long-term care in
guardianships created "before June 1, 1967", is omitted as obsolete.
Defined terms: "Child" § 5-301
"CINA case" § 1-101
"Guardianship" § 5-301
"Includes" § 1-101
"Including" § 1-101
"Juvenile court" § 1-101
