Uniform Unregulated Transfer of Child Custody Act of 2025

This bill prohibits parents from transferring a child's custody to unrelated individuals (outside immediate family or specified categories like foster parents) without oversight, aiming to prevent risks like child exploitation, inadequate care, or psychological harm. It bans advertising or soliciting for a new custodian and grants the Child and Family Services Agency and the Attorney General authority to investigate violations and impose criminal penalties. The law directly affects parents attempting such transfers and the agencies responsible for child welfare enforcement. Modeled after a uniform act adopted in four states, it creates a clear legal framework to protect children from unsafe custody arrangements.
