SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Foster care; approval of applicant whose household includes certain individuals convicted of an offense. Provides that a child-placing agency may approve an applicant as a foster care provider whose household includes an adult who has been convicted of burglary, provided that the adult was a juvenile when the offense occurred, was placed in foster care prior to turning 18 years of age, committed the offense prior to entering foster care, was placed in the home of the applicant for the purpose of foster care, and has not committed an offense since entering foster care, and the child-placing agency makes a specific finding that approving the applicant would not adversely affect the safety or well-being of any child placed with the applicant for purposes of foster care.
