                     CHAPTER ................
 
 
                             AN ACT
 
 
Relating to placement of children; amending ORS 419B.349.
 
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
 
  SECTION 1. ORS 419B.349 is amended to read:
  419B.349. Commitment of a child or ward to the Department of
Human Services does not terminate the court's continuing
jurisdiction to protect the rights of the child or ward or the
child or ward's parents or guardians. Notwithstanding ORS
419B.337 (4), if upon review of a placement of a child or ward
made by the department the court determines that the placement is
not in the best interest of the child or ward, the court may
direct the department to place the child or ward  { + in the care
of the child or ward's parents,  + }in foster care { +  with a
foster care provider who is a relative, in foster care with
another foster care provider + },  { + in + } residential care,
 { + in + } group care or  { + in + } some other specific type of
residential placement, but unless otherwise required by law, the
court may not direct a specific placement. The actual planning
and placement of the child or ward is the responsibility of the
department. Nothing in this section affects any contractual right
of a private agency to refuse or terminate a placement.
