Supreme Court of Florida ____________ No. SC17-2040 ____________ IN RE: AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA RULES OF JUVENILE PROCEDURE - 2017 FAST-TRACK REPORT. [February 1, 2018] PER CURIAM. The Florida Bar’s Juvenile Court Rules Committee (Committee) has filed a “fast-track” out-of-cycle report proposing amendments to the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure in response to recent legislation. See Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.140(e). We have jurisdiction1 and adopt the amendments as proposed. The Committee proposes amendments to rules 8.305 (Shelter Petition, Hearing, and Order), 8.325 (Answers and Pleadings), 8.335 (Alternatives Pending Disposition), 8.340 (Disposition Hearings), 8.345 (Post-Disposition Relief), 8.347 (Motion to Supplement Order of Adjudication, Disposition Order, and Case Plan), 8.400 (Case Plan Development), 8.401 (Case Plan Development for Young 1. Art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. Adults), 8.415 (Judicial Review of Dependency Cases), 8.435 (Reinstatement of Jurisdiction for Young Adult), and 8.505 (Process and Service), and forms 8.967 (Order of Disposition, Acceptance of Case Plan, and Notice of Hearing), 8.973A (Order on Judicial Review for Child Age 17 or Older), 8.973B (Order on Judicial Review), and 8.973C (Order on Judicial Review for Young Adults in Extended Foster Care). The majority of the proposals implement statutory changes that became effective May 1, 2017, and July 1, 2017.2 The other amendments are purely technical changes. The Board of Governors of The Florida Bar unanimously approved the proposals. The Committee did not publish its proposals before filing them with the Court. After considering the proposed amendments and reviewing the relevant legislation, we amend the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure as proposed by the Committee. The more significant amendments are discussed below. The amendments to subdivisions (e)(1) (Notice; In General) and (e)(2) (Notice; Summons) of rule 8.347 (Motion to Supplement Order of Adjudication, Disposition Order, and Case Plan) add language that must be included in a notice 2. See ch. 2017-8, §§ 3, 8, Laws of Fla. (amending § 39.701(3)(a), Fla. Stat.; effective May 1, 2017); ch. 2017-151, §§ 3, 7, 10, 12-13, 17, 21, 46, Laws of Fla. (amending §§ 39.013(2), 39.402(8)(c), 39.507(7)(b), 39.521(1)(a), 39.522(2), (3), 39.6035(4), 39.801(3)(a), Fla. Stat.; effective July 1, 2017). -2- of hearing on a motion to supplement and in a summons in order for the court to find that the failure of a properly served person to appear at the preliminary hearing on the motion constitutes consent to the motion. See ch. 2017-151, § 10, Laws of Fla. (amending § 39.507(7)(b), Fla. Stat. (2016)). The amendment to subdivision (f)(3) (Preliminary Hearing on Motion) of rule 8.347 provides, “Failure of the person properly served with notice to personally appear at the preliminary hearing on the motion [to supplement] constitutes the person’s consent to the court’s finding that the person contributed to the dependency status of the child pursuant to the statutory definition of a dependent child.” New subdivision (g)(5) (Evidentiary Hearing; Failure to Appear) provides that if a person appears for the preliminary hearing on the motion to supplement and the court orders that person to personally appear at the evidentiary hearing on the motion, that person’s failure to appear for the evidentiary hearing constitutes consent to the court’s finding that the person contributed to the dependency status of the child. New subdivision (d)(9) is added to rule 8.400 (Case Plan Development) to require the Department of Children and Families (Department) to attach the child’s transition plan, if applicable, to the case plan. See ch. 2017-151, § 17, Laws of Fla. (amending § 39.6035(4), Fla. Stat. (2016)). New (c)(5) (Department Responsibility) is added to rule 8.401 (Case Plan Development for Young Adults) to require the Department to attach the young adult’s transition plan to the case -3- plan. The amendment to subdivision (b)(3) (Review Hearings for Children 17 Years of Age) of rule 8.415 (Judicial Review of Dependency Cases) requires the Department to update the child’s transition plan before each judicial review hearing and requires the court to approve the transition plan before the child’s 18th birthday. Forms 8.973B (Order on Judicial Review), and 8.973C (Order on Judicial Review for Young Adults in Extended Foster Care) are amended consistent with the rule changes. The amendment to subdivision (a)(1) (Petition for Reinstatement of Jurisdiction) of rule 8.435 (Reinstatement of Jurisdiction for Young Adult) is in response to chapter 2017-151, section 3, Laws of Florida, which amended section 39.013(2), Florida Statutes (2016), to extend the court’s jurisdiction over a child with a disability who is in foster care until that child reaches the age of 22. Subdivision (a)(1) of the rule is amended to provide that “[i]f a young adult who is between the ages of 18 and 21, or 22 if the young adult has a disability, is re- admitted to foster care, the department shall petition the court to reinstate jurisdiction over the young adult.” Forms 8.973A (Order on Judicial Review for Child Age 17 or Older), 8.973B (Order on Judicial Review), and 8.973C (Order on Judicial Review for Young Adults in Extended Foster Care) are amended consistent with the rule change. -4- Accordingly, the Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure are amended as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. The amendments shall take effect immediately upon the release of this opinion. Because the amendments were not published for comment prior to their adoption, interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion in which to file comments with the Court.3 It is so ordered. 3.
