Maddy summaryHB 2331 prohibits parents from delegating parental decision-making authority for a child in the Department of Human Services' (DHS) care or custody due to abuse or suspected abuse by the parent. It directly affects parents whose children are under DHS supervision because of alleged abuse, preventing them from using power of attorney to transfer custody or care decisions to others. The bill amends Oregon law to explicitly state that such delegation is invalid when DHS has custody for abuse-related reasons, while maintaining existing delegation rules for school administrators and servicemember-parents. This change creates a clear restriction on parental delegation only in cases where DHS has taken custody due to child abuse concerns.
