VA HB1060

Expands exceptions to barrier crime restrictions for foster and adoptive home applicants, now requiring background checks on all adult household members in addition to applicants

Allows approval of foster or adoptive homes where applicants have drug-related barrier crime convictions if civil rights have been restored and 10 years have elapsed, or after 8 years with completion of substance abuse treatment and a negative drug test

Permits approval for applicants with certain property crime convictions (clause iii barrier crimes) if civil rights have been restored and 20 years have elapsed following conviction

Consolidates barrier crime exception provisions into § 63.2-901.1 rather than having separate exceptions in § 63.2-1721, streamlining the statutory framework

Maintains existing exception allowing approval for kinship foster homes where applicants have certain misdemeanor assault convictions after 5 years if the placement would not adversely affect child safety
