REPORTER’S NOTE
The title of the Rule has been changed. Notice requirements
are contained in the statute, which is referenced in Rule 9-104
(a), rather than the Rule repeating what the statute provides.
Section (b) was added at the request of practitioners in Child in
Need of Assistance cases to give the court the opportunity to see
how the public agency is progressing in the guardianship or
adoption.
