Bill	Resource families: training.	Existing law provides for the implementation of the resource family approval process, which replaces the multiple processes for licensing foster family homes, certifying foster homes by foster family agencies, approving relatives and nonrelative extended family members as foster care providers, and approving guardians and adoptive families. Existing law defines a resource family as an individual or family who has successfully met both the home environment assessment standards and permanency assessment criteria, as specified, necessary for providing care for a child placed by a public or private child placement agency by court order, or voluntarily placed by a parent or legal guardian.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 865	California AB 865 (20192020)	bill	Resource families: training.	enacted	Reyes	9	30	8	2019-02-20	2019-10-12	openstates	ocd-bill/011a4175-8f42-44de-91cc-b4223d4f6751	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB865	f58e094aa1f90378c144e9f77e1ef758316916bcea3a48cc0cecd4722b19a71e	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
