Bill	Foster youth: placement of siblings.	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. Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to adopt standards pertaining to the home environment and permanency assessments of a resource family according to specified standards, including that the total number of children residing in the home of a resource family be no more than the total number of children the resource family can properly care for, regardless of status, and may not exceed 6 children, except as specified.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20212022	AB 366	California AB 366 (20212022)	bill	Foster youth: placement of siblings.	enacted	Blanca Rubio	10	35	7	2021-02-01	2021-10-06	openstates	ocd-bill/17989f6c-05c1-4d6c-869f-6fdb07f19fdb	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB366	bd7e4fa6d11181328352e0b1f4bac991761589d8d10d818e66fc36083f389fa7	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
