HB 22-1231

House Bill 22-1231, also known as the Foster Parent Bill of Rights, establishes specific rights for foster parents in Colorado. These rights are designed to support and protect foster parents but do not apply if a parent is endangering a child or has been charged with serious crimes like child abuse or felonies. The bill has been signed into law, meaning it is now official and enforceable. This affects all foster parents who meet the criteria outlined in the legislation.

Official Summary

The act creates certain rights for foster parents. The rights do not apply to a foster parent who jeopardizes the safety of a child or youth or a foster parent against whom criminal charges have been filed for child abuse, a sexual offense, or any felony. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
