• WHEREAS, it is necessary to have uniform policies and procedures for the expedited processing of petitions for judicial waiver of parental notice filed under §390.01114 within the First Judicial Circuit, it is ORDERED that the following guidelines shall govern the policy and procedures of the First Judicial Circuit in addressing petitions filed under the above statute. 1. • In an effort to comply with the new Supreme Court rules, the First Circuit has also created a sample request for extension of time period and a sample order to be used in the event the assigned court does not rule on a petition within 48 hours. 2. • In addition, at the request of the petitioner, the clerk shall select an attorney from the dependency appointment roster to represent the petitioner. • The clerk shall contact the selected attorney and inform them of his or her appointment in the case and the hearing date. • The clerk shall also provide the attorney’s contact information to the petitioner. 4. • Per the statute, magistrates may not hear and rule on petitions for judicial waiver of parental notice. • The Court is cognizant of the fact that juvenile judges or counsel may not be immediately available during non-business hours for petition hearings. • Therefore, in consideration of the statute, which requires a court to issue a written order within 48 hours of the filing of a petition for waiver of parental notice, if a minor child wishes to file a petition on the day before a weekend or court holiday, she must request an extension of the 48-hour time period. • In addition, the Court, by statute, must provide for transcription of all hearings. • Because of the expedited nature of the trial court proceedings and appellate proceedings, all hearings must be reported by a court reporter and transcribed within two business days. 6. • If the assigned court has not ruled on the petition within 48 hours, the petition is deemed granted by statute. • In that event, the clerk shall complete and present the attached “Order on Petition for Judicial Waiver of Parental Notice of Abortion” for the signature of the duty judge.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: 80214668b1444e5500c785f69811f4d092a77f0cd9edac95b90b48f094d8949a (59698 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it. Text layer cleaned 2026-09-08 (Phase 3a): page markers removed; wording untouched. Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text.
