 Introduced by Sen. SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the family court act, in relation to service of summons-
 es upon parents in juvenile delinquency cases

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 312.1 of the family court act is amended by adding
 2 a new subdivision 4 to read as follows:
 3 4. Upon the filing of a petition under this article, the court shall
 4 issue a summons to each parent of the respondent, including a non-custo-
 5 dial parent, apart from the parent or person legally responsible named
 6 in subdivision one of this section, provided that the address of such
 7 noticed parent has been provided by the office of probation and correc-
 8 tional alternatives or presentment agency. The office of probation and
 9 correctional alternatives and presentment agency shall ask the custodial
 10 parent or person legally responsible for information regarding any other
 11 parent or parents of the respondent. The summons shall provide notice to
 12 the parent or parents of the right to appear and participate in the
 13 proceeding and to seek temporary release or, upon disposition, direct
 14 placement, of the respondent. The presentment agency shall personally
 15 serve the summons and petition at least twenty-four hours before the
 16 time stated in such summons and petition for appearance, or may serve
 17 the summons and petition by mail at least five days before such date.
 18 The failure of such noticed parent to appear shall not be cause for
 19 delay of the respondent's initial appearance, as defined by section
 20 320.1 of this article.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 22 have become a law, and shall apply to any juvenile who is the subject of
 23 a juvenile delinquency petition filed on or after such effective date.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
