REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 18-701(e) and Art. 49D, §§
6-101(a)(6) and 7-101(g)(1) and (2).
In paragraph (2)(ii) of this subsection, the reference to the regulations of
"the members of the Children's Cabinet" derived from former Art. 49D, §
7- 101(g)(2)(ii) is used for accuracy instead of the former obsolete reference
to the "Office for Children, Youth, and Families" in former Art. 49D, §
6-101(a)(6) (which incorporated by reference HO § 20-101) and the former
reference to the "Governor's Office for Children" in former Art. 41, §
18-701(e)(2)(ii), because the Governor's Office for Children does not have
the authority to adopt regulations.
As to the membership of the Children's Cabinet, see Executive Order
01.01.2005.34.
(N) RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENT.
(1) "RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENT" MEANS A PLACEMENT IN:
(I) A HOSPITAL, UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN
CHILDREN'S CABINET REGULATIONS;
(II) A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT CENTER;
(III) A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL; OR
(IV) ANOTHER OUT-OF-HOME PLACEMENT AS SPECIFIED IN
CHILDREN'S CABINET REGULATIONS.
(2) "RESIDENTIAL PLACEMENT" DOES NOT INCLUDE A PLACEMENT IN:
(I) A FACILITY ESTABLISHED UNDER § 9-226 OF THIS ARTICLE; OR
(II) FOSTER CARE, AS DEFINED IN § 5-501 OF THE FAMILY LAW
ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 49D, § 1-101(1).
The only changes are in style and cross-references.
8-102. STATE POLICY.
IT IS THE POLICY OF THE STATE TO PROMOTE A STABLE, SAFE, AND HEALTHY
ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, THEREBY INCREASING
SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND FAMILY PRESERVATION, THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE
AND COORDINATED INTERAGENCY APPROACH THAT:
(1) PROVIDES A CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT IS FAMILY- AND
CHILD-ORIENTED AND EMPHASIZES PREVENTION, EARLY INTERVENTION, AND
COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES; AND
(2) GIVES PRIORITY TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES MOST AT RISK
