Section 55. Variances for foster care by relatives

7 AAC 50.055. Variances for foster care by relatives

(a) Except as provided in (c) of this section, the licensing representative may apply the abbreviated procedure in (b) of this section to grant a variance for a requirement contained in this chapter for a foster home headed by a relative of a child. This procedure applies only for the specific relative child or children. If a different relative or a non-relative child is to be received in the home, any variance granted under this section must be reviewed and approved by the division under AS 47.35.027 .

(b) In evaluating a relative applicant for a license or in the reevaluation of a licensed foster home for a relative child, the licensing representative will discuss with the applicant and document any recommended variance from a requirement. The supervisor will review the evaluation to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of the child is protected and, if approved, will forward the license for issuance under regular procedures.

(c) A variance from a requirement that might pose a risk to the child's safety or well-being will be considered by the division under procedures in AS 47.35.027 .
