AI Summary

  • Requires counties to make best efforts to provide undocumented minors and nonminor dependents in foster care with access to immigration legal services, either directly or through outside legal service providers.

  • Mandates that placing agencies notify a dependent child's or nonminor dependent's attorney within 5 business days of learning the child is an undocumented immigrant.

  • Removes the January 1, 2022 repeal date for Probate Code Section 2104.1, making permanent the authorization for out-of-state nonprofit charitable corporations to be appointed as guardians in connection with special immigrant juvenile status petitions.

  • Establishes that no state reimbursement is required for costs resulting from this act, as increases in local program costs are limited to levels already funded by 2011 Realignment Legislation.
