16   provisions:
17     a.  The department shall consider developing the
18   home in a manner to provide supervision by mature
19   adult couples.  The program should coordinate
20   comprehensive services for pregnant or parenting
21   teens, including but not limited to educational
22   services, vocational services, personal and family
23   counseling, parent education classes, and assistance
24   in developing independent living and homemaking
25   skills.
26     b.  The department shall consider various options
27   for designing second chance homes so that the homes
28   will not necessarily be government-operated
29   institutions.  The options considered shall include
30   operation by churches and community groups with state
31   guidance through administrative rules.  If the program
32   is implemented, administrative rules will delineate
33   how the homes will be structured and specify the
34   combination of support, services, and participant
35   obligations to help teenage mothers to become good
36   mothers, finish school, and gain adequate skills to
37   support their children.
