 IN SENATE

 April 6, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. SEPULVEDA, MAYER -- read twice and ordered printed,
 and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Judiciary

 AN ACT to amend the family court act, in relation to referrals for child
 support enforcement for foster care maintenance payments

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 413 of the family court act, as
 2 added by chapter 745 of the laws of 1984, is amended to read as follows:
 3 2. (a) Nothing in this article shall impose any liability upon a
 4 person to support the adopted child of [his or her] such person's
 5 spouse, if such child was adopted after the adopting spouse is living
 6 separate and apart from the non-adopting spouse pursuant to a legally
 7 recognizable separation agreement or decree under the domestic relations
 8 law. Such liability shall not be imposed for so long as the spouses
 9 remain separate and apart after the adoption.
 10 (b) Nothing in this article shall impose any liability upon a person
 11 to support a child who is placed in foster care pursuant to an order
 12 issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to any application
 13 for support under this article except where a court has found a child
 14 was subjected to aggravated circumstances as defined in subdivision (j)
 15 of section one thousand twelve of this chapter.
 16 (c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of this subdivision, such liability
 17 shall not be imposed if it will adversely affect the health, safety or
 18 welfare of the child on whose behalf such payments are to be made or
 19 other persons in the child's household or will adversely affect the
 20 length of the child's placement or impair the ability of the child to
 21 return home when discharged from foster care.
 22 (d) No county or local social services district shall cause a referral
 23 to be sent for the purpose of commencing collection of child support for
 24 a child placed in foster care unless such county or district has reason
 25 to believe liability may be imposed under paragraph (b) of this subdivi-
 26 sion.
 27 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 28 have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or
 29 repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of
 30 this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed
 31 on or before such effective date.

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