11  The Committee on Child & Family Security offered the
12  following:
13  
14         Amendment 
15         On page 2, line 16 through page 3, line 2
16  remove from the bill:  all said lines
17  
18  and insert in lieu thereof:  the role of substitute parent as
19  a result of a court's determination of child abuse, neglect,
20  or abandonment and subsequent placement with the relative
21  pursuant to this chapter. Such placement may be either court
22  ordered temporary legal custody to the relative under
23  protective supervision of the department pursuant to s.
24  39.521(1)(b) 3; or court ordered placement in the home of a
25  relative as a permanency option pursuant to s. 39.622. The
26  relative Caregiver Program shall offer financial assistance to
27  caregivers who are relatives and who would be unable to serve
28  in that capacity without the relative caregiver payment
29  because of financial burden, thus exposing the child to the
30  trauma of placement in a shelter or in foster care.
