Relating to requiring a court to verify certain conditions are met before a child who has been removed from a home may be returned to that home

HB 5107 requires West Virginia courts to verify specific conditions before returning a child to a home where they were previously removed due to abuse or neglect. The bill mandates courts confirm that child welfare agencies made reasonable efforts to preserve the family, provided reasonable accommodations for parents with disabilities (per the Americans with Disabilities Act), and documented why reunification isn't safe or appropriate. This applies to all cases where a child is being considered for return home after removal, affecting courts, child welfare departments, parents, and the children involved. The law aims to ensure safety and proper planning before reunification decisions are made.
