Summary

The California Community Care Facilities Act requires any holder of a valid license issued by the State Department of Social Services to engage in any foster family functions to use only a certified family home, as defined, that has been certified by that agency or a licensed foster family home approved for this use by the licensing county. The act requires the total foster family agency rate by age group in effect on January 1, 2008, paid to licensed foster family agencies for the placement of children in certified foster family homes to be reduced by 10% on October 1, 2009. The act requires, until January 1, 2012, a foster family agency that provides treatment of children in foster families to employ one full-time social work supervisor for every 8 social workers or fraction thereof in the agency. This bill would extend the operation of that employment requirement until the above-described total foster family agency rate by age group is restored to at least the rate in effect on September 30, 2009, and the director issues a declaration to take effect, as specified.
