Bill	Resource Family Approval Program.	(1) 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	20212022	SB 584	California SB 584 (20212022)	bill	Resource Family Approval Program.	enacted	Jones	5	27	6	2021-02-18	2021-10-05	openstates	ocd-bill/f381ede1-a035-4aed-b7d9-585e2830c946	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB584	1ec263dd1d3fdb0eadc6b2218cb02c9a9e10a77ea727f3cbafc68af5e31f900b	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
