Provides that when a petition or motion seeks to terminate parental rights on the basis of a parent's failure to make reasonable progress toward the return of a child during any 9-month period after the end of the initial 9-month period following the adjudication of neglected, abused, or dependent minor, the petitioner shall file with the court and serve on the parties a pleading that specifies the 9-month period or periods relied on (instead of providing that a petition or motion to terminate parental rights on the basis of any of the grounds relating to failure to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child shall specify the 9-month period relied on by the petitioner). Provides that the pleading shall be filed and served on the parties no later than 3 weeks before the date set by the court for closure of discovery, and the allegations in the pleading shall be treated as incorporated into the petition or motion.
