Foster Care - As enacted, requires the department of children's services to provide a copy of a petition to terminate parental rights for a child in the custody of the department to the child's foster parent, if the foster parent has served as the physical placement for the child for a period of nine or more consecutive months; requires the department to provide the required copy within seven days of the filing or being served with the petition. - Amends TCA Section 36-1-113 and Section 37-2-415.

HB 2350 requires Tennessee's Department of Children's Services to provide foster parents with a copy of any petition to terminate a child's parental rights if the foster parent has cared for the child continuously for nine or more months. The department must deliver this copy within seven days of the petition being filed or served on them. This ensures foster parents - those meeting the nine-month care requirement - can learn about legal proceedings affecting the child they've been caring for. The bill also updates information-sharing rules to clarify that foster parents must keep confidential any termination petition copy they receive, except when necessary for the child's health or safety.
