Published on: 12593527. The proposed rule will address mandatory rule making requirements in 2010-158, §4 , Laws of Florida related to Independent Living. The new enabling language requires the Department to develop rules governing payments and conditions related to payment for services to youth who have aged out of the foster care system. The new rule language will clarify governance of payments and conditions associated with payments for services to youth or young adults as provided in Section 409.1451, Florida Statute. The rule will address issues related to the equitable treatment of young adults formerly in foster care and provide for increased fiscal oversight and accountability at all levels (Department, Community-Based Care Lead Agencies and agencies under contract with the Department operating pursuant to s. 409.1671, F.S.), so as to maximize the effective and efficient operation of the Pre-Independent and Independent Living Program.
