SB 724 - This act requires certain facilities for children to show proof of accreditation or compliance with safety standards. Currently, Section 210.516, RSMo, requires licensure of all residential care facilities, foster homes, and child placing agencies, but exempts other facilities, such as those run by religious organizations. This act requires license-exempt facilities to show proof of accreditation through a national organization or show proof of compliance with sanitation and fire standards established by the state.
