     On page 25, after line 14 of the amendment, insert the following:

     "Sec. 15.  RCW 26.44.140 and 1990 c 3 s 1301 are each amended to read as follows:

     The court shall require that an individual who, while acting in a parental role, has physically or sexually abused a child and has been removed from the home pursuant to a court order issued in a proceeding under chapter 13.34 RCW, prior to being permitted to reside in the home where the child resides, complete the treatment and education requirements necessary to protect the child from future abuse.  The court may require the individual to continue treatment as a condition for remaining in the home where the child resides.

     The department of social and health services or supervising agency shall be responsible for advising the court as to appropriate treatment and education requirements, providing referrals to the individual, monitoring and assessing the individual's progress, informing the court of such progress, and providing recommendations to the court.

     The person removed from the home shall pay for these services ((according to a schedule established by the department of social and health services.  This schedule shall be based on the individual's ability to pay)) unless the person is otherwise eligible to receive financial assistance in paying for such services.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to create in any person an entitlement to services or financial assistance in paying for services."

     Renumber the sections consecutively and correct any internal references.
