CA AB1928

Requires the State Department of Social Services to consider all adoptive, biological, foster, and guardianship children living in a specialized foster family home or specialized certified family home when determining licensed capacity, with a maximum total of 6 children per home.

Specifies that specialized foster care homes may exceed the standard 2-child limit with a third foster child if licensed capacity is not exceeded and conditions regarding placement availability, psychological needs, and health/safety are met.

Allows licensed small family homes (but not certified homes) to exceed the 2-child placement limit up to licensed capacity if a regional center client is present and caregiver assistance is provided when 4 or more foster children are in the facility.

Establishes that children with special health care needs cannot be placed in group homes for longer than 120 calendar days on an emergency basis, except for children already in group homes before January 1, 1992.

Declares that the bill's provisions are declaratory of existing law.
