Siblings Bill of Rights passes committee with amendments

The New Jersey Assembly Women and Children Committee approved an amended version of A1357 (Mosquera), which establishes a New Jersey Siblings’ Bill of Rights. The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) supported the bill with an amendment to notify siblings of permanency hearings and allow them to share with the court their wishes for placement of a sibling. While this amendment was not made to this version of the bill, Mosquera promised to continue to work on the bill to make amendments in line with recommendations from various stakeholders who testified.
