Qué contiene
Resumen con IA People who want to become foster care providers will no longer have a set number of training hours required to get or renew their licenses. Instead, the Department of Health and Human Services will decide how much training a person needs based on their past experience and the needs of the child. The law also lists specific topics that must be covered during yearly training sessions. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill relates to training requirements for the licensure of individual child foster care (foster care) providers. Under current law, an individual must complete 30 hours of foster care training offered or approved by the department of health and human services (HHS) to obtain a foster care license. HHS may waive all or a portion of an individual’s training requirements based on the individual’s relevant training and experience. HHS may also waive all or a portion of the training based on the individual’s circumstances and the circumstances of the prospective foster child. An individual licensee is also required to receive six hours of foster care training annually prior to renewal of the individual’s foster care license. An individual licensee who cannot receive annual training because of active duty military service is considered to be in compliance for foster care license training purposes. The bill eliminates current hourly requirements for foster care training for initial foster care licensure and renewals of licenses. Instead, the bill allows HHS to determine appropriate training requirements for individuals based on the relevant experience of the individual, and the circumstances of both the prospective foster child and the individual. The bill details the topics that must be included in annual training for individual licensees.
Por qué importa. People seeking to become or maintain licenses as individual child foster care providers would no longer have fixed hourly training requirements for their initial licenses or renewals. Instead, the department of health and human services would determine training needs based on a person's experience and the specific circumstances of the prospective foster child. The bill also specifies the topics that must be included in the annual training for these licensees. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)2
