Certified family homes
CERTIFIED FAMILY HOMES – Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to modify provisions regarding certified family homes.

RS30821 / H0528

The Department of Health and Welfare seeks to update Title 39, Chapter 35 - Idaho Certified Family Homes, Idaho Code. This legislation was put on hold last year as the Governor explored a possible reorganization of the Division of Licensing and Certification under the Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses. As that contemplated reorganization has been tabled indefinitely, the Department is now resuming the statutory changes to update, clarify, simplify, remove redundant or inconsistent language, enhance resident rights, and give the Department more flexibility in executing its responsibility to provide regulatory oversight to certified family homes in Idaho.
