(b) Prior to removal of an African American or other disproportionately represented child, a local social services agency must work with the child's family to implement a 60-day in-home safety plan. The child's parent or guardian must actively participate in creating the safety plan with guidance and input from the local social services agency. The safety plan must address the child's basic needs and incorporate familial and community support to ensure the child's safety while keeping the family intact. This paragraph does not apply to cases with allegations of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or egregious harm.

(c) For a disproportionately represented child who is alleged to be in need of child protective services, the court shall review the local social services agency's efforts to make and provide customized efforts. The court shall require the agency to document and identify the provision of culturally informed, strength-based, community‑involved, or community-based services to the family and child. If a court determines that the local social services agency did not make customized efforts as required under this section, the court shall order the local social services agency to immediately provide remedial family-based services.

(d) A court shall not, unless the court finds that the child's health or welfare would be immediately endangered, order an out-of-home or permanency placement for an African American or other disproportionately represented child alleged to be in need of protective services unless the court finds that the local social services agency made

Journal of the House - 19th Day - Thursday, March 7, 2019 - Top of Page 786

customized efforts to preserve the child's family. In determining whether the local social services agency made customized efforts for purposes of out-of-home placement and permanency, the court shall make findings regarding whether the local social services agency made appropriate and meaningful family-based services available to the family based upon that family's specific needs. If a court determines that the local social services agency did not make customized efforts as required under this section, the court shall order the local social services agency to immediately provide appropriate and meaningful in-home family services.

(e) Unless allegations of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or egregious harm are present, a court shall not order an out-of-home or permanency placement for an African American or other disproportionately represented child alleged to be in need of protective services absent clear and convincing evidence that multiple risk factors to the child's safety are present. Multiple risk factors does not include a risk factor which the local social services agency may resolve with an in-home safety plan.

Sec. 5. [260.65] TEMPORARY OUT-OF-HOME PLACEMENT.

(a) Prior to an African American or other disproportionately represented child's placement in foster care, the responsible local social services agency must make customized efforts to identify and locate the child's relatives and the noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent, notify them of the need for a foster home for the child, and provide them with a list of legal resources. The agency must also inform the relatives and noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent of the option to become a placement resource for the child and the possibility that the child will need a permanent placement. If prior notice is not practicable, the agency must notify identified relatives and the noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent of the need for a foster home for the child within 48 hours of a child's removal from the custodial parent's care. The local social services agency must keep detailed records of its efforts to notify parents and relatives under this section.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 260C.219, if a noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent is willing to and capable of providing for the day-to-day care of the African American or other disproportionately represented child temporarily or permanently, the local social services agency shall temporarily place the child with the noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent. Prior to initial placement with a noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent, the local social services agency must conduct an immediate assessment of the parent's ability to care for the child.

(c) If a noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent is unwilling to or incapable of caring for the child, and the local social services agency has determined that continued placement of the child in the home of either parent would endanger the child's health, safety, or welfare, the local social services agency shall comply with the custodial parent or legal custodian's request to temporarily place the child with a selected relative. Prior to initial placement with the relative, the local social services agency must conduct an assessment of the relative's ability to care for the child.

(d) The local social services agency must provide a reasonable time period to allow a noncustodial and nonadjudicated parent or a selected relative to remedy minor disqualifications.

(e) If, after conducting an assessment, the local social services agency determines that the child cannot be placed with the relative or the noncustodial or nonadjudicated parent, the local social services agency must provide specific findings of fact, in writing, explaining why the placement is not possible.

Sec. 6. [260.66] EMERGENCY REMOVAL HEARING.

Notwithstanding section 260C.163, subdivision 3, and the provisions of Minnesota Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure Rule 25, a parent of an African American or other disproportionately represented child who is subject to an emergency protective care hearing pursuant to section 260C.178 and Minnesota Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure Rule 30 has the right to be represented by counsel. The court must appoint qualified counsel to represent the parent if the parent meets the eligibility requirements under section 611.17.

The court shall, if possible, transfer permanent legal and physical custody to a fit and willing relative or third party, if the court determines that there is continued need for out-of-home placement of the child.

Subd. 2. Appeals. Notwithstanding the provisions of Minnesota Rules of Juvenile Protection Procedure Rule 47.02, subdivision 2, an African American or other disproportionately represented parent whose parental rights have been terminated may appeal the decision within 120 days of the service of notice by the court administrator of the filing of the court's order.

"Whereas, World War II, the most widespread war in history, lasted from 1939 until 1945; and

Whereas, the United States entered the war in 1941, following an attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese fighter planes; and

Whereas, over 16 million Americans served their country and the Allied powers over the course of the war; and

Whereas, the generation of men and women who served our country in World War II has been called the "greatest generation" for their selfless sacrifice; and

Whereas, the Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration that is awarded by the United States government; and

Whereas, the Medal of Honor is presented by the President of the United States, in the name of Congress; and

Journal of the House - 19th Day - Thursday, March 7, 2019 - Top of Page 817

Whereas, the Medal of Honor is only conferred upon members of the United States Armed Forces who distinguish themselves through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States, while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or while serving with friendly forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party; and

Whereas, more than 3,400 Medals of Honor have been awarded to our nation's bravest soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guardsmen since the creation of the award in 1861; and

Whereas, the Medal of Honor was awarded to 353 Americans during World War II; and

Whereas, only four of those 353 Americans are alive today; and

Whereas, Charles H. Coolidge of Tennessee, Francis S. Currey of New York, Robert D. Maxwell of Oregon, and Hershel Woodrow Williams of West Virginia all served their country with conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life and therefore deserve the gratitude of the American people; and

Whereas, the President of the United States has the sole authority to designate a state funeral; and

Whereas, the Congress of the United States may pass a Concurrent Resolution to allow an individual to lie in state in the rotunda of the United States Capitol; and

Whereas, historically, the President of the United States has designated state funerals for former presidents, generals, and other extraordinary Americans; and

Whereas, our nation is currently divided and yearns for a unifying national event; and

Whereas, designating a state funeral when the last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient dies would be a wonderful way for the American people to unite and honor all 16 million soldiers, sailors, and airmen who served in our Armed Forces from 1941 to 1945; Now, Therefore,

Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota that it urges the President of the United States and the Congress of the United States to take all necessary measures to ensure the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from World War II be offered a state funeral, including, but not limited to, having the option to lie in state in the rotunda of the United States Capitol.

Be It Further Resolved that the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota is directed to prepare copies of this memorial and transmit them to the President of the United States, the President and the Secretary of the United States Senate, the Speaker and the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives, the chair of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, the chair of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and Minnesota's Senators and Representatives in Congress."
