If an agency has written consent from a child's parents or legal guardian, or a contract with the county, or a court order to place a child in foster care, the agency's responsibilities are the same as those listed for local agencies in part 9560.0540, subparts 2 and 3. The agency must meet the requirements of parts 9545.0010 to 9545.0260 when licensing child foster care homes.
When an agency provides child foster care services under contract with a county, the agency must develop and implement a service plan compatible with the case placement plan required of the county by part 9560.0610.
For each child the agency supervises in foster care, the agency must have a record that contains the information required in Minnesota Statutes, section 257.01, and in items A to L:
all available information about the birth parents' full names, addresses, telephone numbers, and marital status;
copy of written agreement or order authorizing the county or, if applicable, the agency, to supervise the child's placement in foster care;
case closing summary and the agency's plan for the continued provision of services to the child, if any; and
