Section 17a-145-155 - Summary suspension

If the department has reason to believe that a threat to the health or welfare of a child or children placed in a foster or prospective adoptive home exists, the department may summarily suspend the license or approval. The department shall immediately remove any foster or prospective adoptive child residing in a foster or prospective adoptive home which has had its license or approval summarily suspended. Any licensed foster or prospective adoptive home which has been issued a summary suspension shall be immediately notified by mail of its right to a hearing on the issue of summary suspension pursuant to section 17a-145-157 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. If the licensed foster or prospective adoptive home requests a hearing within ten (10) days of notification such hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days. If no hearing is requested the recommended action of the department is accepted. Regardless of a request for a hearing no additional children shall be placed in a foster or prospective adoptive home under summary suspension until a final decision is rendered on the matter.
