Establishes a registration process for certain children's homes

HB 764 establishes a mandatory registration process for children's homes that care for foster children, directly affecting these facilities and the qualified associations that oversee them. Facilities must annually register with a qualified association (meeting specific criteria like 20+ years of operation and published safety standards), providing detailed information about their staff, children in care, and compliance with health and safety laws. The bill requires each facility to create a written contract with a child's parent or guardian outlining services, charges, disciplinary procedures, and medical consent, with copies filed with the association. It also creates a Child Protection Board within the Department of Social Services to review abuse/neglect complaints and oversee the registration system.
