Action:
Reorganization and Revisions to the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Regulations
Action 5122
[Withdrawn 1/4/2023]
General Information
| Action Summary |
The current regulatory sections for the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman (OSLTCO) and the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (SLTCOP) (22VAC30-60-570 through 22VAC30-60-590) will be repealed and a new, standalone chapter will be established to more clearly describe OSLTCO and the SLTCOP requirements. In addition, several additional sections within 22VAC30-60 that include SLTCOP content will be amended to fully execute the move to the newly established chapter. The new chapter, State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (22VAC30-140), is needed to update and better describe the requirements of the program. Revisions and details are needed to incorporate new requirements stemming from the 2006 reauthorization of the federal Older Americans Act (“OAA,” Public Law 109-365) and its ensuing federal regulations (45 CFR Parts 1321 and 1324). These changes will align Virginia’s regulations for the OSLTCO and the SLTCOP operations with the new federal requirements. |
