FL S1322

Establishes that parental consent to adoption is valid and binding if executed during dependency proceedings up to 30 days after filing a petition for termination of parental rights, with legislative findings emphasizing minimizing child trauma and maintaining stable placements.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that a child's current placement is stable and in their best interests if the child has been there at least 9 continuous months or 15 of the last 24 months, with the burden on intervening parties to prove by clear and convincing evidence that disruption is necessary.

Requires dependency courts to grant an evidentiary hearing to determine if adoption entity intervention documents are adequate, if the home study provides sufficient information, and if placement change is in the child's best interests, with final hearing within 30 days absent good cause.

Requires adoption entities to develop transition plans minimizing trauma during placement changes and to provide monthly supervision reports until adoption finalization; mandates courts provide written notice of private adoption plan rights to parents at multiple stages of dependency proceedings.

Directs the Department of Children and Families and adoption agencies to provide data to the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability by specified dates for a comprehensive report on the adoption process due January 1, 2024.
