                             JUVENILE PROCEEDINGS
                                  CHAPTER 16
                             CHILD PROTECTIVE ACT
    16-1620.  PERMANENCY PLAN -- HEARING. (1) After a judicial determination
that reasonable efforts to return the child to his home are not required
because the parent has subjected the child to aggravated circumstances as set
forth in section 16-1619(6)(d), Idaho Code, the department shall prepare a
permanency plan. The plan shall set forth reasonable efforts to place the
child for adoption, with a legal guardian, or in another approved permanent
placement.
    (2)  Notice of the permanency hearing shall be provided to the parents,
legal guardians, guardians ad litem and foster parents, provided however, that
foster parents are not thereby made parties to the child protective act
action.
    (3)  When it is in the child's best interests, the child's connections to
the community, including individuals with a significant relationship to the
child, religious organizations and community activities, will be maintained
throughout the transition. The plan shall state with specificity the role of
the department toward each parent.
