a)         The purpose of this Part is to prescribe the standards for licensure as a child welfare agency and to describe how to apply for a child welfare agency license. This Part also prescribes the duties of a child welfare agency to monitor and supervise child care facilities under its supervisory authority.

b)         The licensing standards set forth in this Part are applicable to child welfare agencies as defined in the Child Care Act of 1969 [225 ILCS 10/2.08].
