Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure - 2021 Fast-Track Report
March 3, 2022
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida adopted proposed amendments to the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, with one minor modification to the judicial-review forms, to conform the rules to recent legislative changes. The amendments address attorney appointments in custody-modification proceedings, placement priorities and sibling visitation at shelter hearings, custody-change procedures and presumptions, judicial review at age sixteen, and reinstatement of terminated parental rights. The amendments became effective immediately, subject to a later period for public comment because they had not previously been published. No separate opinions were filed.
