Action:
Changes to conform to federal, interstate, and state requirements.
Action 1679
 
[Withdrawn 3/29/2007]
General Information
Action Summary The purpose of the proposed action is to revise the regulation to reflect current federal and state law, interstate compact, and program policy and to reflect other federal and state requirements. Standards for treatment foster care will be added to reflect the current practice of licensed child-placing agencies and to allow certification of agencies for Medicaid reimbursement of treatment foster care case management services. Standards regulating intercountry adoptions, assisted conception, and independent living will also be added. The regulation will clarify and strengthen requirements for child-placing agency staff and foster and adoptive parents. The amended regulation will also respond to technical and programmatic questions that have been raised since 1989, update operational requirements including consolidating requirements for different programs as appropriate, clarify terms, increase consistency between and among programs, and make the regulation easier to understand. The amended regulation is necessary to incorporate current program requirements at the federal and state level and provide standards for programs that have changed or expanded since 1989. A goal of the amended regulation is to integrate relevant federal, interstate, and state changes since 1989. The other major goal is to strengthen the regulation by addressing issues that have been raised during the past several years and by reorganizing and adding sections to make it more functional.
