1998 Minnesota Code
Chapters 245 - 267 Public Welfare and Related Activities
Chapter 257A Children; Custody, Designated Caregiver
Section 257A.02 Designated caregiver; alternate.
257A.02 Designated caregiver; alternate.
An individual acting as a designated caregiver is exempt in that role from any statute or administrative rule requiring a foster care license, unless the child was placed in the home of the designated caregiver by a child-placing agency pursuant to a voluntary placement agreement or court order, but must provide the notice required by section 257A.09 if applicable. A parent who has named a guardian by will for the parent's children may name that guardian or another individual as a designated caregiver for the child. A parent who has legal custody of more than one child may appoint the same or a different designated caregiver for each child.
A parent may appoint an alternate designated caregiver who would serve if the designated caregiver is unwilling or unable to serve. All the provisions of this chapter dealing with a designated caregiver apply to an alternate designated caregiver.
