DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Agency for Persons with Disabilities

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Agency for Persons with Disabilities has received the petition for declaratory statement from Florida Association of Rehabilitation Facilities. The petition seeks the agency’s opinion as to the applicability of Chapter 429, F.S., as it applies to the petitioner.

The petitioner requests a Declaratory Statement from the Agency for Persons with Disabilities clarifying that Adult Day Training (ADT) program sites, as referenced in Section 393.063(1), Florida Statutes (FS)., are not Adult Day Care Centers as authorized per F.S., Chapter 429, Part III, ss. 429.90-429.931. Approval of this request would mean that ADT sites will not be required to meet the same licensure and fire and safety standards required for Adult Day Care Centers as licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration (ACHA) with program oversight through the Department of Elder Affairs per F.A.C. 58A-6.

A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Gypsy Bailey, Agency Clerk 4030 Esplanade Way, Suite 380 Tallahassee, Florida 32399 Phone: [phone] Email: [e-mail].
