Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill allows parents or legal guardians facing separation from their children due to federal immigration matters to appoint a standby guardian. It amends existing law to include "administrative separation" as a reason for appointing a standby guardian, alongside death, incapacity, or debilitation. This change enables parents to plan for their child's care if they are arrested, detained, or removed from the country.
