| 3.2.I.2 | Separate foster care licensing statutes and regulations from other residential care facilities. This will make it easier for foster care homes to become fully licensed and easier for relatives, in particular, to become licensed. Streamline and clarify what constitutes a fully licensed foster care home for the purpose of Title IV-E eligibility. |
| 4.4. | To maintain and augment the effectiveness and efficiency of all DHSS advisory bodies, policymakers should: 1.

Establish and enforce expectations regarding the use of performance management tools by agency councils, boards and commissions. 3. Use the criteria developed in this analysis when considering the creation of any new advisory bodies. |
