SB 815: Relating to the Department of Human Services as a party in dependency proceedings.

SB 815 clarifies when Oregon's Department of Human Services (DHS) becomes a formal party in juvenile court cases involving child welfare. DHS is recognized as a party when it petitions for custody, has temporary custody of a child, or holds legal custody under state law. The bill also ensures foster parents, relatives caring for a child, and grandparents receive notice of court proceedings and the right to be heard - though they are not considered formal parties. This change affects children in dependency cases, DHS, foster families, and tribal entities, streamlining court procedures while ensuring key stakeholders are notified.
