STATEMENTS OF POLICY

Title 55—PUBLIC WELFARE

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE

[55 PA. CODE CH. 2390]

Licensing Inspection Instrument

[40 Pa.B. 4974]
[Saturday, August 28, 2010]

Scope

 This statement of policy applies to the following: administrative entity directors and administrators; supports coordination organization directors and administrators; and providers licensed under Chapter 2390 (relating to vocational facilities).

Purpose

 The purpose of this statement of policy is to rescind Chapter 2390, Appendix A (relating to licensing inspection instrument for vocational facilities—statement of policy).

Background

 The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) currently codifies the Licensing Inspection Instrument (LII) for vocational facilities in Chapter 2390, Appendix A. The Department of Public Welfare's (Department) licensing regulations in Chapters 2380, 6400 and 6500 (relating to adult training facilities; community homes for individuals with mental retardation; and family living homes) do not have codified LIIs. For consistency purposes, the Department no longer wishes to codify the LII for vocational facilities.

Discussion

 For consistency purposes, the Department determined to similarly format its licensing regulations in Chapters 2380, 2390, 6400 and 6500. Therefore, since Chapters 2380, 6400 and 6500 do not have codified LIIs, the Department is no longer codifying the Chapter 2390 LII in the Pennsylvania Code. The current Chapter 2390 LII and other ODP LIIs are available at http://www. dpw.state.pa.us/PartnersProviders/MentalRetardation/003679539.htm.

Effective Date

 This statement of policy is effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Contact

 Questions regarding this statement of policy should be directed to the appropriate regional ODP.
