PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department intends to amend Chapter 65C-14 to modify regulatory language and update forms to comport with current law, policies and procedures related to residential child caring agencies.

The title of the rule will be changed from Group Care to Group Care Licensing.

SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Residential Group Care.
