Allows the department of social and health services to: (1) Authorize a one-time waiver of all or any portion of certain licensing and processing fees if the department determines that an adult family home is being relicensed because of exceptional circumstances and that to require full payment of the licensing and processing fees would present a hardship to the applicant;

(2) Under exceptional circumstances, consider granting a license to an applicant who has not completed the adult family home administration and business planning class but who meets all other requirements; and

(3) Negotiate with adult family homes to establish a capital add-on rate for those homes contracting with the department that have a medicaid occupancy percentage of sixty percent or greater.
