Action:
Amend Standards for Licensed Children’s Residential Facilities
Action 5370
General Information
| Action Summary |
Standards for Licensed Children’s Residential Facilities, 22VAC40-151, provide criteria for the public and the Department of Social Services to evaluate the safety and stability of care that children and youth receive in licensed children’s residential facilities (CRF). These regulations provide rules for current practices in children’s residential facilities that ensure the well-being of children and youth residing in a CRF.
Proposed amendments in this action are intended to bring the regulation into alignment with the federal Foster Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008, Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014, and the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018. This action will align the regulation with state and federal law, adding definitions, clarifying language, and making technical edits and any other changes deemed necessary after public comment and review.
