Bill	Foster care: parenting youth.	Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge a child to be a dependent of the court under certain circumstances, including when the child has been left without any provision for support or when a parent or guardian fails to provide the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical treatment. Existing law provides that the Legislature declares that a child whose parent has been adjudged a dependent child of the court shall not be considered at risk of abuse or neglect solely because of the age, dependent status, or foster care status of the parent.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20152016	AB 260	California AB 260 (20152016)	bill	Foster care: parenting youth.	enacted	Lopez	7	27	10	2015-02-09	2015-10-06	openstates	ocd-bill/0c8b9130-9750-45e4-908e-6222ba3cfa83	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB260	b153f9ab85c35c7e25767dd879f19d287829553fbb633807ba135ecf5f9b81c6	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
