It was further determined that in a case where a child placed in emergency foster care is hospitalized by virtue of the foster parent's authority as stated, a social worker under the Youth Law (Care and Supervision) or a social worker under the Welfare Law (Treatment of Persons with Intellectual-Developmental Disability), as applicable, shall notify the court handling the child's case shortly after the hospitalization. In addition, it was determined that regarding the granting of a license for emergency foster care, the maximum age limit of 56 years, which applies to regular foster care, will not apply.
