Provides that in situations where a custodial parent identifies an urgent need for assistance or relief the parent may, in cooperation with the receiving children's facility, place a child prior to final approval of the placement pursuant to the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children when the placement is made without the involvement of a public officer or agency.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children.  Provides that regulations adopted by the Board of Social Services to implement the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children shall not prohibit the placement of a nonresident child in a children's residential facility in the Commonwealth by a custodial parent who assumes full financial responsibility for the child prior to final approval of the placement pursuant to the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children when the placement is made without the involvement of a public officer or agency. This bill is identical to SB 366.
