Section 7.50.005. Applicability.

	(a)  The provisions of this chapter apply to foster homes, and residential child care facilities licensed or required to be licensed under AS 47.10.310 and 47.10.392; AS 47.35.015; or AS 47.80.140. To the extent practicable, the requirements set out in this chapter apply generally to both facility types. However, where necessary or appropriate, various specific requirements set out in this chapter apply to less than both types of facilities and, in some cases, to less than both kinds of facilities of a particular type, depending on certain factors, such as the type or size of facility and whether the facility has any employees.  
	(b)  The provisions of a section apply to both facility types regulated under this chapter, unless the section denotes applicability to a specific facility type. When less than both facility types are addressed in a section, the first subsection or paragraph of the section will include the full name of each specific facility type regulated under the section. Further subsections or paragraphs may employ abbreviated terms such as "center," "home," or "facility" to refer to the facility type, rather than the full name of the facility type.  
	(c)  In the event of conflict between a generally applicable requirement and a specific requirement applicable to a particular type or size of facility, the requirement specifically applicable to the facility type or size applies.  
	(d)  Deleted 7/1/2000.
