SB 1149 makes several regulatory changes in the child welfare system. It exempts single source continuum contractors (SSCCs)—organizations that manage community-based foster care—from needing a child-placing agency license. The bill also reduces required liability insurance coverage for child-care facilities and listed family homes from $300,000 to $100,000 per occurrence and extends the initial validity period for child-care licenses from six months to twelve months. Additionally, it modifies posting requirements for "No Trespassing" notices at residential treatment centers and updates licensing requirements for child-care administrators by removing certain educational and experience-based prerequisites.
