Ariz. Admin. Code § R21-6-205 - Licensing Agency Responsibility; Application for an Initial Foster Home License

A. When an applicant meets the minimum qualifications specified under R21-6-401, the licensing agency shall provide the assistance needed to submit the application for initial licensure via the Department's electronic database.

B. The licensing agency shall ensure that the application for an initial license contains, at minimum, information specified under R21-6-403.

C. The licensing agency shall provide OLR with signed verification that the applicant has provided proof of income and resources and:

1. Criminal record self-disclosure for each adult household member;

2. Valid Level One fingerprint clearance cards for each adult household member, as necessary; specified in A.R.S. § 8-509;

5. Proof or current training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid;

6. Current immunization record available for each child household member. In accordance with A.R.S. § 8-509(I), the lack of updated or available immunization records will not prohibit licensure, but may be grounds for restricting the license to prevent the placement of infants, young children, and medically complex children;

7. Valid Arizona driver's license for each household member who transports a foster child, or a transportation plan in place in the absence of a valid Arizona driver's license.

8. Current registration and insurance card for each vehicle that belongs to a household member and may be used to transport a foster child; and

9. The Statement of Understanding, as defined under R21-6-101(76).

D. The licensing agency shall ensure that the application for an initial license includes the home study and assessment specified under R21-6-206 and the agency signature page.

E. The licensing agency shall submit the information required in this Section to the licensing authority no later than 30 days from receipt of all information required by this Section.
