OPINION OF THE COURT
Sara P. Schechter, J.
The case at bar, a termination of parental rights case based upon grounds of “severe abuse”, presents several issues that require the court to interpret chapter 7 of the Laws of 1999 (hereinafter NY-ASF A or the new Act), which became effective on February 11, 1999:
• whether the newly created felony sex offense grounds for termination of parental rights are applicable to a case filed prior to the effective date of the new Act;
• whether a derivative finding of “severe abuse” may be made pursuant to Social Services Law § 384-b (8) (a) (i) and (ii)…
