NRS 424.260: Notification to licensing authority of certain placements; placements to comply with Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children or Interstate Compact for Juveniles; priority in assistance with placement.

1. A foster care agency shall notify the licensing authority before the foster care agency authorizes the placement of a child who is not being placed through the licensing authority or a juvenile court.

2. A foster care agency may not agree to place a child who is relocating from another state unless the foster care agency first consults the licensing authority to determine whether the provisions of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children pursuant to chapter 127F of NRS or the Interstate Compact for Juveniles pursuant to NRS 62I.015 apply. If the licensing authority determines that the provisions of either Compact apply, the foster care agency may not agree to place the child unless the placement would not violate the provisions of the Compact.

3. A foster care agency shall give priority to assisting with the placement of a child by an agency which provides child welfare services or a juvenile court.
