Those of us working with Licensed Child Placing Agencies have been eagerly waiting to see a draft of the proposed new regulations. Our understanding has been that the process of developing new standards would be open and collaborative. I am concerned that since none of us has received a complete draft of the Standards, we have not been able to make meaningful comments on them before the end of the NOIRA stage. I hope this will not undermine the process of collaboration with the Division of Licensing nor create the impression among members of the State Board of Social Services that private service providers have been fully involved in the development of the most recent draft.
