Summary


Section 394.875, F.S., directs the Department, in consultation with the agency, to adopt rules governing a residential treatment center for children and adolescents which specify licensure standards. The anticipated revisions to the licensure rule will update the licensing fees to cover the agency’s costs associated with the licensing process, pursuant to s. 408.805, F.S. To align with s. 408.808(1), F.S., anticipated revisions will increase the length of time a license is active from one to two years. Lastly, removal of language duplicative of language found in statute simplifies the regulatory process.
