Action:
Amend Resource, Foster and Adoptive Home Approval Regulation
Action 3822
General Information
| Action Summary |
This regulation addresses standards for resource, foster and adoptive homes approved by local departments of social services. The purpose of the proposed action is to clarify 1) the circumstances under which variances can be allowed to make state regulations consistent with state and federal law and 2) that resource parents are mandated reporters and as such must be trained. These changes are needed as a result of Code change during the 2012 General Assembly session. Additionally, requirements for maintaining approval are being updated based upon recommendations from regional specialists and input from our workgroup. |
