Bill	Dependent children.	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 suffered, or there is a substantial risk that the child will suffer, serious physical harm or illness as a result of the failure or inability of their parent or guardian to adequately supervise or protect the child. Existing law requires the court to make a determination, throughout various hearings in the juvenile dependency process, including at the 6-month review hearing, the 12-month permanency hearing, and subsequent permanency review hearings, as to whether the return of the child to their parent or legal guardian would create a substantial risk of detriment to the safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being of the child. Under existing law, the failure of the parent or legal guardian to participate regularly and make substantive progress in court-ordered treatment programs is considered prima facie evidence at these hearings that return would be detrimental.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	SB 463	California SB 463 (20232024)	bill	Dependent children	enacted	Wahab	6	26	7	2023-02-13	2023-10-10	openstates	ocd-bill/6eeda35d-6073-4235-89aa-8054020e5f4d	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB463	f9292311b88896eeb1d02255fda8a38c45f8baf0bd6e60b2aa202eceaab0f536	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca

California SB 463 (20232024) — Dependent children.

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 suffered, or there is a substantial risk that the child will suffer, serious physical harm or illness as a result of the failure or inability of their parent or guardian to adequately supervise or protect the child. Existing law requires the court to make a determination, throughout various hearings in the juvenile dependency process, including at the 6-month review hearing, the 12-month permanency hearing, and subsequent permanency review hearings, as to whether the return of the child to their parent or legal guardian would create a substantial risk of detriment to the safety, protection, or physical or emotional well-being of the child. Under existing law, the failure of the parent or legal guardian to participate regularly and make substantive progress in court-ordered treatment programs is considered prima facie evidence at these hearings that return would be detrimental.
