2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 74.13.290: Fewest possible placements for children.

    To provide stability to children in out-of-home care, placement selection shall be made with a view toward the fewest possible placements for each child. If possible, the initial placement shall be viewed as the only placement for the child. The use of short-term interim placements of thirty days or less to protect the child's health or safety while the placement of choice is being arranged is not a violation of this principle.

    [1990 c 284 § 11.]
