Sec.17a-150-75. Waiver provision for a child placing agency

A child placing agency shall comply with all relevant regulations unless a waiver for specific requirements of such regulations has been granted by the commissioner or his designee. A waiver agreement shall only be issued if the child placing agency is in substantial compliance with the intent of the relevant regulations being exempted or that the intent of the specific requirement to be exempted will be satisfactorily achieved in a manner other than that prescribed by the requirement. A waiver shall specify the particular requirements to be exempted, the duration of the exemption and the terms under which the exemption is granted. If child placing agency fails to comply with the waiver in any way the agreement shall be subject to immediate cancellation.
