Representative Short moved the adoption of amendment (528):
On page 1, line 9, after "child." insert "Pursuant to RCW 13.34.060 and 13.34.130, placement of the child with a relative is the preferred option. The department must consider placement with a grandparent who has a significant relationship with a child, and must weigh the nonexclusive factors in section 2(4) of this act."
Beginning on page 1, line 14, after "care," strike all material through "and the" on page 2, line 3, and insert "and the department cannot locate an appropriate and available grandparent or other relative, the preferred nonrelative placement for the child is in a foster family home where the child previously was placed, if the following conditions are met:
(a) The foster family home is available and willing to care for the child;
(b) The foster family is appropriate and able to meet the child's needs; and
(c) The"

"(3) In selecting the placement for a child being returned to foster care, the department shall give weight to the child's length of stay and attachment to the caregivers in the previous placements in determining what is in the best interest of the child.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 13.34 RCW to read as follows:
(1) To provide stability for children in out-of-home care, placement selection shall be made with a view toward the fewest possible placements for each child. If possible, the initial placement shall be viewed as the only placement for the child. The use of short- term interim placements of thirty days or less to protect the child's health or safety while the placement of choice is being arranged is not a violation of this principle.
(2) If a child has been previously placed in out-of-home care and is subsequently returned to out-of-home care, the court must consider placement with a grandparent who has a significant relationship with a child, and must weigh the nonexclusive factors in subsection (4) of this section.
(3) If the department cannot locate an appropriate and available relative, the preferred placement for the child is in a foster family home where the child previously was placed, if the following conditions are met:
(a) The foster family home is available and willing to care for the child;
(b) The foster family is appropriate and able to meet the child's needs; and
(c) The placement is in the best interest of the child.
(4) In selecting the placement for a child being returned to foster care, the court shall give weight to the child's length of stay and attachment to the caregivers in the previous placements and shall consider the following nonexclusive factors in determining what is in the best interest of the child:
(a) The love, affection, and strength of the relationship between the child and the caregiver;
(b) The length and quality of the relationship between the child and the caregiver, including the roles performed by the caregiver and the emotional ties between the child and the caregiver;
(c) The child's reasonable preference, if the court finds the child is of sufficient age or maturity to express a preference;
(d) The good faith of the caregiver in seeking to have the child placed in his or her home;
(e) The criminal history, if any, of the caregiver as determined by a criminal history background check required by law;
(f) The caregiver's history of any adverse actions, including findings relating to child abuse and neglect by the caregiver;
(g) If applicable, the number of placement changes the child already has experienced and the potential impact of an additional change in placement to the caregiver's home;
(h) The child's current level of functioning at home and in school or early learning programs, and child care programs;
(i) Whether placement with the caregiver would allow the child:
(i) To remain in the same school, child care center, or early learning program, or to continue participating in any extracurricular activities that contribute to the child's healthy development with peers;
(ii) To participate in court-ordered visitation with parents and siblings;
(iii) To access any court-ordered services intended to promote the child's health, safety, and well-being;
(iv) To participate in other activities designed to achieve the permanency goal for the child; and
(j) Any other factors relevant to the child's best interests."

(c) "Adequate cleaning" means: (i) the removal of debris, food waste and excrement from the primary enclosure with sufficient frequency to minimize the animals' contact with the above-mentioned contaminants; (ii) the primary enclosure is sanitized with sufficient frequency to minimize odors and the hazards of disease; and (iii) the primary enclosure is cleaned so as to prevent the animals confined therein from being directly or indirectly sprayed with the stream of water, or directly or indirectly exposed to hazardous chemicals or disinfectants.
(d) "Adequate exercise" means the opportunity for a dog to move sufficiently outside of its primary enclosure to maintain normal muscle tone and mass for the age, size, and condition of the dog, except when exercise is medically contraindicated.
(e) "Adequate food" means the provision of and access to food that: (i) is of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain each dog in good health; (ii) is accessible to each dog; (iii) is prepared so as to permit ease of consumption for the age, condition, size and type of each dog; (iv) is provided in a clean and sanitary manner; (v) is placed so as to minimize contamination by excrement and pests; and (vi) is provided at suitable intervals for the age, activity level and condition of the dog, but at least once daily, except as prescribed by a veterinarian.
