Performance-based contracts — State authority — Selection of demonstration sites.

Children whose cases are managed by a supervising agency as defined in RCW 74.13.020 remain under the care and placement authority of the state. The child welfare transformation design committee, in selecting demonstration sites for the provision of child welfare services under RCW 74.13.368(4), shall maintain the placement and care authority of the state over children receiving child welfare services at a level that does not adversely affect the state's ability to continue to obtain federal funding for child welfare related functions currently performed by the state and with consideration of options to further maximize federal funding opportunities and increase flexibility in the use of such funds, including use for preventive and in-home child welfare services.
