In Re: Amendments to the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure - 2019 Fast-Track Report

January 9, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida adopted the Juvenile Court Rules Committee’s fast-track amendments to specified juvenile-procedure rules and forms. The amendments implement recent statutory changes concerning dependency proceedings, case-plan compliance, residential-treatment reviews, judicial review orders, extended foster care, and termination-of-parental-rights proceedings. The amendments took effect immediately, subject to a subsequent 75-day period for comments because they had not been published before adoption.
