The following provisos shall regulate the expenditure of appropriations contained in Section 1. Provided, Further, That the appropriation of $80,000 to the Spartanburg County Arts Commission must be used for the Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union Counties 1985 Summer Arts Institute. Provided, Further, That notwithstanding any other provision of law: The funds appropriated in SECTION 1 of this Part of this act for "Foster Care of Children Review Board", including "Equipment" and "Special Item: Foster Care of Children Review Board Project", must be expended in accordance with and subject to the following provisions: A. As used in these provisions of this section (SECTION 2 of Part III), "foster care" includes family foster home, child caring facility, and residential group care home as defined below: (1) "Child caring facility" means a campus with one or more staffed residences and with a total population of twenty or more children who are in care apart from their parents, relatives, or guardians, on a continuing full-time basis for protection and guidance. (2) "Family foster home" or "foster home" means a household of one or more persons who are licensed to provide full-time care for one to five children living apart from their parents or guardians. (3) "Residential group care home" or "group home" means a staffed residence with a population fewer than twenty children who are in care apart from their parents, relatives, or guardians on a full-time basis. B. The functions and powers of local foster care review boards are as follows: (1) To review every six months cases of children who have resided in public or private foster care for a period of more than six consecutive months to determine what efforts have been made by the supervising agency or child caring facility to acquire a permanent home for the child. A child's return home for temporary placements, trial placements, visits, holidays, weekend visits, or changes from one foster care placement to another as defined above may not be construed to mean a break or lapse in determination of a consecutive six-month period. (2) To recommend continued placement of a child in the child caring facility, unless the parent is able to resume care, in at least those instances when: (a) children are privately placed in privately-owned facilities or group homes; and (b) a notarized affidavit of summary review is executed by the child caring facility and is valid on its face. The affidavit of summary review must be submitted to the board every six months and accepted by the board if it is valid on its face. The affidavit must attest to the following conditions: (i) The biological/legal parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who placed the child has legal custody of the child; and (ii) No court has ordered or approved the placement of the child in the care of the child caring facility except as a part of an order granting legal custody of the child to a parent or legal guardian; and (iii) The facility has no knowledge that a child has ever been abused, neglected, or abandoned while under the care of the biological/legal parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who placed the child in the facility; and (iv) The biological/legal parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who placed the child contributes regularly to the support of the child to the level of his or her ability and has done so for a period of six months immediately prior to the date of the affidavit; and (v) The biological/legal parent(s) or legal guardian(s) who placed the child has maintained contact and visitation with the child to the best of his or her ability under existing circumstances. (3) To encourage the return of children to their natural parents, except as provided in item (2), or, upon determination during a case review of the local review board that this return is not in the best interest of the child, to recommend to the appropriate agency action be taken for a maximum effort to place the child for adoption. (4) To promote and encourage all agencies and facilities involved in placing children in foster care to place children with persons suitable and eligible as adoptive parents. (5) To advise foster parents of their right to petition the family court for termination of parental rights and for adoption and to encourage these foster parents to initiate these proceedings in an appropriate case when it has been determined by the local review board that return to the natural parents is not in the best interest of the child. (6) To recommend that a child caring facility or agency exert all possible efforts to make arrangements for permanent foster care or guardianship for children for whom return to natural parents or adoption is not feasible or possible as determined during a case review by the local review board. (7) To report to the state office of the Department of Social Services and other adoptive or foster care agencies any deficiencies in these agencies' efforts to secure permanent homes for children discovered in the local board's review of these cases as provided for in items (1) and (2). (8) Any case findings or recommendations of a local review board are advisory. C. Any person or agency aggrieved by an action or recommendation of a local review board may seek relief by petition to the family court of that county which shall issue a rule to show cause why the action or recommendation of the local review board should not be set aside or modified. If a child caring facility or agency is not in agreement with the local review board recommendation relating to permanent placement of a child in its care, the child caring facility or agency shall notify the chairman of the local review board within twenty-one days after receipt of the recommendation.

Section 59-111-530 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 478 of 1978, is further amended to read: "Section 59-111-530. A loan or scholarship shall not exceed six thousand two hundred dollars per annum, for not exceeding four years, to defray tuition, living expenses, and other school related expenses. The grant must be based upon the condition that the applicant apply for a license to practice medicine, dentistry, or child psychiatry in South Carolina at the earliest practicable opportunity and that, within six months after the applicant is licensed to practice, he will engage in the general practice of medicine, dentistry, or child psychiatry in a service area within this State which has a ratio of not more than one doctor for each two thousand people or a ratio of not more than one dentist for each six thousand people. However, the practice of child psychiatry is limited only to the Child and Adolescent Unit at the South Carolina State Hospital. The Department shall approve a deferment of such required entry into practice during the time that the applicant is engaged in a residency training program in the field of family practice, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or child psychiatry.

Where the Department is convinced that there is justifiable cause which the applicant could not have foreseen, the Department may allow him to repay the loan or scholarship by paying in cash the full amount of the loan or scholarship, plus seven percent interest per annum compounded semiannually."
