 AN ACT to amend the family court act and the social services law, in
 relation to establishing procedures regarding orders of post-termina-

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

 1 Section 1. Section 634 of the family court act, as amended by chapter
 2 666 of the laws of 1976, is amended to read as follows:
 3 § 634. Commitment of guardianship and custody; further orders. The
 4 court may enter an order under section six hundred thirty-one of this
 5 part committing the guardianship and custody of the child to the peti-
 6 tioner on such conditions, if any, as it deems proper, including but not
 7 limited to, an order of post-termination visitation and/or contact
 8 pursuant to section three hundred eighty-four-b of the social services
 9 law.
 10 § 2. Section 384-b of the social services law is amended by adding six
 11 new subdivisions 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 to read as follows:
 12 14. (a) Upon application by any party to a proceeding under this
 13 section, (i) the court shall order post-termination visitation and/or
 14 contact between the child and such child's parent who is a party to such
 15 proceeding on such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the
 16 parent, the child, and the foster parent or authorized agency prior to
 17 the entry of an order committing the guardianship and custody of the
 18 child, and upon a determination by the court that such post-termination
 19 visitation and/or contact would be in the best interest of the child; or

 A. 4940--B 2

 1 (ii) if any party does not consent, the court may order post-termination
 2 visitation and/or contact between the child and the child's parent after
 3 a hearing at which the court has determined that (A) the party's consent
 4 is being unreasonably withheld; and (B) post-termination visitation
 5 and/or contact would be in the best interest of the child.
 6 (b) The hearing to determine whether the court should enter an order
 7 of post-termination visitation and/or contact shall be held either (i)
 8 concurrently with a dispositional hearing held in the proceedings to
 9 terminate the parent's rights pursuant to this section; or (ii) if no
 10 dispositional hearing is held, subsequent to the close of the fact-find-
 11 ing hearing on the underlying petition to terminate the parent's rights
 12 and prior to the court's entry of an order committing the guardianship
 13 and custody of the child. The court shall not hold such a hearing at
 14 any other time.
