PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Department intends to repeal existing rule sections governing the operation of secure detention facilities. New rule sections will take their place, that are more consistent with current practice.

SUMMARY: The repealed rule sections govern facility maintenance, staffing, security, sanitation, capacity, intake and orientation, treatment and training of youth, medical care and disciplinary treatment provided in secure detention facilities.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The SERC Checklist, and current information available to the department, indicates that the statutory threshold for ratification will not be exceeded.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
