| Action Summary | This action is the result of a periodic review. No comments were received during the review. With only two exceptions the proposed amendments are not substantive and merely update language to mirror language in the Code of Virginia or in 12VAC35-115, Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department Of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (“Human Rights Regulations”). The two substantive changes are 1) the addition of the definition of “regional support team” (“RST”) and the function of the RST to the discharge planning process, and ii) the addition of the assistant commissioner having responsibility for the training center to the admission process. These two changes mirror practices that have been in place since 2012. |
