Subdivision 1. Citation. This
section may be cited as the "Family Reunification Act of 2011."
Subd. 2. Definition. For
purposes of this section, "reestablishment of the legal parent and child
relationship" means the physical reunification of a child and a previously

Subd. 3. Process for minors; who may bring motion. (a) Any of the following parties may

(1) a minor child who is the subject of a guardianship and
transfer of legal custody order under section 260C.325;
(2) a parent whose parental rights have been terminated
under section 260C.317, other than a parent:
(i) whose parental rights were terminated based on a finding
in a legal proceeding of sexual abuse or conduct that resulted in the death of
a minor; or
(ii) who has been convicted of any crime enumerated under
section 260C.007, subdivision 14;
(3) the child's guardian ad litem;
(4) an Indian child's tribe; or
(5) the responsible social services agency.
(b) A motion for reestablishment of the legal parent and
child relationship may not be brought:
(1) if a prior motion for reestablishment of the legal
parent and child relationship has been brought within the previous two years;
(2) unless the child has been in foster care for at least 24
months after a final order terminating parental rights and freeing the child
for adoption;
(3) if the child has been adopted or if the child is the
subject of a written adoption placement agreement between the responsible
social services agency and the prospective adoptive parent, as required under
Minnesota Rules, part 9560.0060, subpart 2; or
(4) by any party other than the child if a motion for
reestablishment of the legal parent and child relationship has been brought at
any previous time and the child did not agree to the reestablishment.
Subd. 4. Process for minors; timing, jurisdiction, and content of motion. The motion for reestablishment of the
legal parent and child relationship must:
(1) be brought before the child's 18th birthday;
(2) be brought before the court that issued the order for
guardianship and legal custody and conducts the reviews required under section
260C.317, subdivision 3, paragraphs (b) and (c);
(3) state the factual basis for the request for
reestablishment of the legal parent and child relationship;
(4) contain the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and
other contact information for any person or agency entitled under this section
to notice of the motion; and
(5) contain or attach documentary evidence showing the basis
for reestablishment of the legal parent and child relationship.
Subd. 5. Process for minors; service of motion on parties. The motion for reestablishment of the
legal parent and child relationship and notice of hearing on the motion must be
served on:
(1) the child's foster parent; and
(2) all persons or entities having standing to bring a
motion under this section, provided that a parent whose rights have been
terminated and who is not the subject of the motion is not entitled to notice
of the hearing.
Subd. 6. Process for minors; hearing on motion. (a) A hearing on the motion must be
conducted during a regularly scheduled review hearing.
(b) The court must determine whether the motion states a
prima facie case that:
(1) reestablishment of the legal parent and child
relationship is in the best interests of the child;
(2) the parent is fit to safely provide the day-to-day care
of the child, which includes meeting the child's developmental and emotional
needs, and can plan and provide for the child's long-term needs;
(3) the conditions that led to either an adjudication that
the child was in need of protection or services or to an order terminating
parental rights have been corrected or ameliorated; and
(4) both the parent and the child desire reestablishment of
the parent and child relationship.
(c) The person filing the motion has the burden of proof. The court may not shift the burden to any
other party.
(d) The court must deny the motion and the matter may not
proceed with the evidentiary hearing if the court finds that the motion does
not state the prima facie case required under paragraph (b).
(e) The responsible social services agency and the child's
guardian ad litem, unless a moving party, must file with the court the report
required under the Minnesota Rules of Juvenile Protection for hearings
conducted under section 260C.317, subdivision 3, paragraphs (b) and (c), at
least five days prior to the hearing. The
report must support or oppose the motion for reestablishment of the legal
parent and child relationship, and must include the facts and evidence upon
which support or opposition is based. The
responsible social service agency's report must include an assessment of
whether the parent's home constitutes a safe environment for the child.
(f) The court may accept testimony voluntarily offered by a
child who is the petitioner or subject of the petition. The testimony may be provided informally
under section 260C.163, subdivision 6.
(g) The court may grant the motion ordering reestablishment
of the legal parent and child relationship between the child and a parent who
had a previous legal relationship if:
(1) the child has not been adopted;
(2) the child has been in foster care for at least 24 months
following a final order terminating parental rights and freeing the child for
adoption; and
(3) the court makes detailed and individualized findings
that there is clear and convincing evidence that reestablishment of the legal
parent and child relationship is in the child's best interests including:
(i) that the conditions that led to either an adjudication
that the child was in need of protection or services or an order terminating
parental rights have been corrected or ameliorated;
(ii) that there is agreement by the child to reestablishment
of the legal parent and child relationship;
(iii) that reestablishment of the legal parent and child
relationship achieves the physical reunification of the parent and child as a
family unit;
(iv) that the parent is presently fit to safely maintain the
day-to-day care of the child; and
(v) any other factor the court considers relevant to the
best interests of the child, including the legal and actual effect
reestablishment of the parent and child relationship will have on the child's
relationship with the child's siblings, especially siblings in the same foster
home as the child.
The court must consider as the paramount determinant whether
granting the motion to reestablish the legal parent and child relationship is
in the child's best interests.
Subd. 7. Process for minors; service of order. The court administrator must serve:
(1) a copy of the final court order granting or denying the
motion to reestablish the legal parent and child relationship on all persons or
entities entitled under subdivision 5 to bring a motion for reestablishment;
and
(2) a certified copy of any order reestablishing the legal
parent and child relationship on the commissioner of human services.
Subd. 8. Process for persons over 18 years of age. (a) The following parties may bring a
motion to reestablish the legal parent and child relationship:
(1) a person at least 18 years of age who was the subject of
a guardianship and transfer of legal custody order under section 260C.325 and
who has not been adopted; or
(2) a parent whose rights regarding the person have been
terminated under section 260C.317.
(b) The motion must be filed in the county and before the
court that issued the order terminating parental rights, and must contain:
(1) a statement that the person and the parent whose rights
have been terminated both agree to reestablishment of the legal parent and
child relationship;
(2) a statement that both the person and the parent whose
rights have been terminated are competent to agree to reestablishment of the
legal parent and child relationship;
(3) the facts showing that it is in the person's interest to
reestablish the legal parent and child relationship; and
(4) the names and addresses of any natural person or agency
entitled to notice of the motion under paragraph (c).
(c) The court must set a time for hearing the motion and
serve notice of the time of the hearing and a copy of the motion upon:
(1) the person whose legal relationship with the parent
would be reestablished;
(2) the previously terminated birth parent who is the movant
or the subject of the person's motion;
(3) any guardian, as that term is defined under section
524.1-201;
(4) the responsible social services agency if the person had
been under guardianship of the commissioner and remains in foster care under
the legal responsibility of the agency;
(5) the person's foster parent if the person had been under
the guardianship of the commissioner and remains in foster care under the legal
responsibility of the agency; and
(6) if the person is an Indian, the person's tribe.
(d) Upon motion and hearing, the court must order the legal
parent and child relationship reestablished when:
(1) the person understands and agrees to the order, provided
that the agreement of the person is invalid if the person is either considered
to be a vulnerable adult under section 626.5572, subdivision 21, or determined
not to be competent to give consent;
(2) the person, if under age 21, has been informed by the
court and understands that reestablishment of the parent and child relationship
terminates any entitlement to benefits otherwise available to a child in foster
care;
(3) the person's previously terminated birth parent agrees
to the order;
(4) the person has not been adopted; and
(5) if the person has been or currently is under
guardianship, the court finds that order to be in the best interests of the
person.
(e) The order granting or denying the
motion to reestablish the legal parent and child relationship must be served
on:
(1) the person;
(2) the previously terminated birth parent;
(3) any guardian, as that term is defined under section
524.1-201;
(4) the responsible social services agency if the former
ward continues in foster care; and
(5) if applicable, the person's tribe.
Subd. 9. No right to appointed counsel.
A motion for reestablishment of the parent and child relationship
made under this chapter does not provide a right to the appointment of counsel
to the parent under section 260C.163, subdivision 3, or the Rules of Juvenile
Protection Procedure, rule 25.02, subdivision 2. Nothing in this subdivision affects the
representation of a child with appointed counsel under subdivision 2 or 3.
Subd. 10. Effect of order. (a)
As of the effective date of a court order reestablishing the legal parent and
child relationship:
(1) the child or person is the legal child of the parent;
(2) the parent whose rights were terminated under a previous
order of the court as the legal parent of the child or person is the legal
parent of the child or person and all rights, powers, privileges, immunities,
duties, and obligations that were severed and terminated by the court under
section 260C.317 are restored;
(3) if applicable, guardianship and legal custody of the
commissioner of human services is dismissed; and
(4) with respect to a minor child, permanent legal and
physical custody of the child is awarded to the parent.
(b) An order reestablishing the legal parent and child
relationship as to one parent of the child has no effect on:
(1) the legal rights of any other parent whose rights to the
child have been terminated by the court; or
(2) the legal sibling relationship between the child or
person and any other children of the parent.
(c) Where a child is a minor, the reestablishment of the
legal parent and child relationship:
(1) removes the presumption of palpable unfitness under
section 260C.301, subdivision 1, paragraph (b), clause (4), that otherwise
would have arisen due to any involuntary termination of parental rights order
and the subsequent birth of another child of the parent; and
(2) eliminates the requirement that the county attorney file
a termination of parental rights or child in need of protection or services
petition due to an involuntary termination of parental rights order and
subsequent birth of another child to the parent that would have otherwise
arisen under sections 260C.301, subdivision 3, paragraph (a), and 260C.007,
subdivision 6, paragraph (16), and rebuts the presumption under section
260C.301, subdivision 1, paragraph (b), clause (4), in the event such a
petition is filed."

and be re-referred to the Committee on Judiciary Policy and Finance.
