HB 908 -- Permanency Placement of Children

Sponsor:  Hollingsworth

This bill expands juvenile court jurisdiction to allow juvenile
courts to determine paternity, child custody, and child support
in one action.  Under current law, paternity actions must be
filed separately.  Juvenile courts are given jurisdiction over
guardianship proceedings for children and several new forms of
guardianship are created.  The bill also allows for an automatic
transfer to juvenile court of dissolution and modification
actions involving children subject to juvenile court
jurisdiction.
