Relating to changing circumstances for when a child may be removed from a foster home.

HB 4795 modifies West Virginia's foster care rules to clarify when children can be removed from foster homes. It requires the state department to temporarily remove children from foster homes if abuse/neglect allegations are verified, and permanently end foster placements only if the foster parents are at fault or other specific conditions are met (like a child turning 14 requesting to stay). The bill also mandates that foster parents apply to adopt within 30 days after a child's biological parents' rights are terminated, or the foster care arrangement may end if a better long-term placement is found. Additionally, it requires the department to notify foster or adoptive parents of siblings when a new child enters care, aiming to keep siblings together when possible.
