Plain-English Summary
The shortest rule in the chapter, and it functions as a pointer. The board provides written notice of its review and makes recommendations in the manner prescribed by the Child Placement Review Act.
The substance — what the recommendations must address and who receives them — is statutory rather than in the rule. What follows the recommendations is in Rule 5:13-7, which sets the deadline for the court's own determination.
