IN THE CIRCUIT COURT, SIXTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
IN AND FOR PINELLAS AND
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 2010-032 PA/PI-CIR
RE: AMENDED
PROCEEDINGS TO WAIVE PARENTAL NOTIFICATION OF TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY –
APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY – EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2010
Administrative Order 2006-063 PA/PI-CIR was adopted to establish procedures for proceedings to waive parental notification of termination of pregnancy. That order provided for a court appointed attorney to be assigned to represent the petitioner if she is not already represented by counsel.
Administrative Order 2008-006 updated the procedures to provide for appointment of the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel instead of a court appointed attorney due to the requirements in section 27.511, Florida Statutes.
HB 5401, Chapter 2010-162, Laws of Florida has amended section 27.511(6)(a), Florida Statutes, to provide for a court appointed attorney to be assigned to represent the petitioner. The Regional Counsel is only to be appointed if there is no other attorney available. Therefore,
IT
IS ORDERED:
Administrative Order 2008-006 PA/PI-CIR is hereby rescinded effective
July 1, 2010.
All other provisions in Administrative Order 2006-063 PA/PI-CIR remain in full force and effect.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida, this 29th day of June 2010.
