General Information
Action Summary These regulatory changes will bring the Standards for Licensed Family Day Homes into conformity with changes made to §§ 63.2-1702 and 63.2-1707 of the Code of Virginia by the 2013 Session of the General Assembly (Chapters 182 and 545 of the 2013 Acts of Assembly). Regulatory changes include: • Add to subsection C of 22VAC40-80-20 (Preplanning) a statement that on receipt of the initial application, the department will investigate the financial responsibility of the applicant. • Create in 22VAC40-80-160 (The Investigation) a new subsection A stating that upon receipt of a new application the commissioner shall (1) investigate the activities, services and facilities of the applicant and his character and reputation, (2) if the applicant is an association, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, investigate the character and reputation of its officers and agents, and (3) upon receipt of the initial application, investigate the applicant’s financial responsibility. The remainder of this standard has been re-lettered to reflect this addition. • Add to subsection C (new D) of 22VAC40-80-160 language stating that records containing confidential proprietary information furnished to the department pursuant to this section shall be exempt from disclosure and that at the time of the initial inspection, the financial records of an applicant shall not be subject to inspection if the applicant submits an operating budget and at least one credit reference. • An exception in subsection C (new D) of 22VAC40-80-160 pertaining to inspection of financial records of child welfare agencies was deleted, as the new language regarding inspection of financial records will also apply to child welfare agencies.
