Court-ordered services

§ 1015-a. Court-ordered services. In any proceeding under this article, the court may order a social services official to provide or arrange for the provision of services or assistance to the child and their family to facilitate the protection of the child, the rehabilitation of the family and, as appropriate, the discharge of the child from foster care. Such order shall not include the provision of any service or assistance to the child and their family which is not authorized or required to be made available pursuant to the comprehensive annual services program plan then in effect. In any order issued pursuant to this section the court may require a social services official to make periodic progress reports to the court on the implementation of such order. Nothing in such order shall preclude any party from exercising its rights under this article or any other provision of law relating to the return of the care and custody of the child by a social services official to the parent, parents or guardian. Violation of such order shall be subject to punishment pursuant to section seven hundred fifty-three of the judiciary law. Such order relating to services for a child placed in foster care shall be enforceable after such child is discharged from foster care pursuant to subdivision (d) of section one thousand eighty-eight of this act.
