PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The amendments clarify the process by which the costs of detention care are shared by state and county government. Specifically, the rule clarifies the distinction between pre- and post-disposition so that post-disposition will only include days in secure detention following disposition during which a child is awaiting residential placement. The amendments also modify the reporting and reconciliation provisions so that monthly reporting and reconciliation will take place. A per diem rate for detention care will be derived according to a specified formula, and the rate will be used to make monthly adjustments in actual utilization. Dates for reporting and reconciliation are adjusted, and definitions are amended to reflect these changes.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The amendments clarify the distinction between pre- and post-disposition, modify the estimation, reporting and reconciliation process, and make corresponding changes to definitions.
