General Procedures and Information for Licensure [22 VAC 40 ‑ 80]
Action:
Amend as result of Periodic Review and changes made to Code of Virginia
Action 1145
 
General Information
Action Summary The purpose of the proposed action is to amend the regulation to clarify and simplify some standards and to incorporate changes that have been made to the Code of Virginia since the last revision of this regulation. Many changes are the result of the recodification of Title 63.1 of the Code of Virginia that will become effective October 1, 2002. The Code of Virginia mandates that the Department of Social Services (Department) license certain facilities that provide care to children and adults. Programmatic regulations are developed for these facilities. The current regulation contains general licensing requirements that are applicable to all licensed programs but are not included in the programmatic regulations. Previously, this regulation was promulgated jointly by the State Board of Social Services (Board) and the Child Day-Care Council for all the Department’s licensed programs. However, the Child Day-Care Council desires to promulgate a separate regulation that applies only to child day centers (the only program for which they have regulatory responsibility). This regulation will continue to contain references to child day centers, however, because of the Board’s sole authority to regulate some procedures and activities that are applicable to child day centers. The goal of the amended regulation is to provide clear and concise information and requirements for applicants, licensees, and licensing staff regarding the licensing process
