     257A.10 Local social service agency evaluation. 

    When a local social service agency assumes responsibility 
 for a child pursuant to a voluntary placement agreement or by 
 order of the court, and the parent requests that placement be 
 with a designated caregiver, the local social service agency 
 must evaluate the appropriateness of the child's placement with 
 the designated caregiver.  If placement with the designated 
 caregiver is deemed to be in the child's best interest, the 
 designated caregiver must comply with licensure requirements 
 under chapter 245A, in order to provide foster care for the 
 child.
