SECTION 749.2557. May a foster home exceed its verified capacity?

Latest version.

(a) The number of children in a foster home, including the biological and adopted children of the caregivers who live in the foster home, any children receiving foster or respite child-care, and children for whom the family provides day care, must not exceed the total capacity stated on the home's verification.
(b) Children visiting the home or in the home for infrequent babysitting are not counted in the capacity of the home. However, the caregivers in the home must ensure that the presence of additional children in the home does not prevent adequate supervision of children in foster and respite child-care.
