S 8382 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to orders of protection in child abuse and neglect proceedings in family court

This bill amends New York's Family Court Act to clarify and expand orders of protection in child abuse and neglect cases. It specifically allows courts to issue protection orders against non-parent household members or caregivers (who aren't legally responsible for the child) independently of other court orders. Orders can last up to two years, or up to five years if "special circumstances" exist (like prior violence, sex offenses, or history of violating orders), and must undergo annual review by the court. The bill directly affects children, their caregivers, and household members involved in family court proceedings where child safety is a concern.
