Body: | Section 44-1-31 Guardianship of youth in custody of department. If, at any time while legal custody of a youth is vested in the department of youth services, the department learns that he or she, for any reason does not have a natural or adoptive parent in a position to exercise effective guardianship or a legally appointed guardian of his or her person, the department may thereupon file a petition in the appropriate court for the appointment of a guardian of the person or property of such youth. No officer or employee of the department shall accept appointment as the guardian of a youth whose legal custody is vested in the department. (Acts 1973, No. 816, p. 1261, ยง22.) |
