Purpose


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. These modifications further allow the Department to amend and repeal duplicative language in order to streamline regulatory activities within the residential child caring agency setting. Additionally, the Department intends to create a rule to establish procedures for administrative actions, appeals, and voluntary closures of residential child-caring agencies.
