A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to Health.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 321-11.2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) The department of health is
authorized to certify adult foster homes for developmentally disabled
individuals requiring such care beyond the eighteenth birthday. "Adult
foster home" means a private home providing care on a twenty-four hour
basis for adults with developmental disabilities. To be certified, an adult
foster home shall have not more than [two] three adults with
developmental disabilities at the same time, who are unrelated to the foster
family. To accommodate residents of a foster boarding home for children with
developmental disabilities who reach the age of eighteen years, where the home
is certified as a foster boarding home for children under section 346-17, the
director of health may waive the [two] three adult limit for
certification of that home as an adult foster home[,]; provided
that: (1) the number of foster children and adults in such dually certified
home shall not exceed [five] six, and (2) no new adults may be admitted
into the home while there are any foster children residing in the home."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2013.
