(2) Only one parenting youth and their infants may occupy a bedroom; and
(3) The department may grant an exception to this section with approval by an LD administrator if:
(a) It is in the best interest of the children or youth in care; and
(b) Supported by the:
(i) LD licensor; and
(ii) Child's or youth's representative.
