(a) Except as provided in (c) of this section, the licensing representative may apply the abbreviated procedure in (b) of this section to grant a variance for a requirement contained in this chapter for a foster home headed by a relative of a child. This procedure applies only for the specific relative child or children. If a different relative or a non-relative child is to be received in the home, any variance granted under this section must be reviewed and approved by the division under AS 47.35.027. (b) In evaluating a relative applicant for a license or in the reevaluation of a licensed foster home for a relative child, the licensing representative will discuss with the applicant and document any recommended variance from a requirement. The supervisor will review the evaluation to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of the child is protected and, if approved, will forward the license for issuance under regular procedures. (c) A variance from a requirement that might pose a risk to the child's safety or well-being will be considered by the division under procedures in AS 47.35.027.
