---------- Referred to Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 66-14 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 66-14. Allowance for maintenance of children placed by Commonwealth in private homes, etc.

For the maintenance of each child committed to the Department and placed in a private home or in a facility other than one operated by the Commonwealth, there shall be paid by the locality where the child resides, as determined by the court, a per diem allowance which shall be established by the Department. This allowance shall be drawn from funds allocated to the locality's community policy and management team through the state pool of funds or from funds appropriated to the Department. The cost of such care shall not exceed that amount which would be incurred if the services required by the child were provided in a juvenile facility operated by the Department.

No child shall be placed outside the Commonwealth without first complying with the appropriate provisions of Chapter 10.1 (§ 63.1-219.1 et seq.) of Title 63.1 or with regulations of the State Board of Social Services relating to resident children placed out of the Commonwealth.
