Section 16.06.02.001 - SCOPE AND POLICY

Universal Citation: ID Admin Code 16.06.02.001

Current through August 31, 2023

01. Scope. These rules establish requirements for licensing, maintaining, and operating the following facilities: (3-28-23)

a. Daycare centers; (3-28-23)

b. Group daycare facilities; (3-28-23)

c. Family daycare homes (voluntarily); and (3-28-23)

d. Foster homes. (3-28-23)

02. Policy. It is the Department's policy to assure that children receive adequate substitute parental care in the absence or temporary or permanent inability of parents to provide care and protection for their children, or the parents are seeking alternative twenty-four (24) hour long-term care for their children. This policy is because children are vulnerable and not capable of protecting themselves. When parents have relinquished their children's care to others, there arises the possibility of risks to those children's lives, health, and safety. This requires the Department oversight of licensing and registration found in these rules. (3-28-23)
