Section 7.50.050. Provisional foster home license issued under emergency conditions.

	(a)  The department may issue a provisional foster home license to an applicant if a child must be placed immediately and the department determines that it is in the child's best interest to place the child in the applicant's home, including placement with an adult family member or an adult family friend under AS 47.14. The department will issue the provisional license regardless of whether the application is complete, if the department is able to determine from the information provided, and any further investigation, that the applicant meets adequate standards of care that protect the health, safety, and well-being of the child. A provisional license issued under this subsection is valid for 90 days unless the department specifies a shorter period.  
	(b)  As soon as possible after issuance of a provisional foster home license under (a), the applicant shall submit to the licensing representative a completed initial application as required by 7 AAC 50.030. A provisional license issued after review and evaluation of the completed application is valid for the remainder of a one year period from the date on which the provisional license under (a) of this section was issued.
