(a) If a caregiver is absent from the home on an extended
basis as a condition of the caregiver's employment or military service,
the caregiver is exempt from obtaining current certification in pediatric
first aid and pediatric CPR during this time of absence. The caregiver
must obtain pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR certifications within
90 days after returning home.
(b) A child-placement staff member who meets the definition
of a caregiver only because the staff member provides transportation
for children in foster care, must obtain pediatric first-aid certification,
but is exempt from pediatric CPR certification.
