The verbatim transcript of the Final Hearing of the Child Care Development Fund State Plan has now been posted online.
Please note that NO member of SECAC representing the child care industry (or otherwise), who would dare to present derogatory and unfounded characterizations (potential defamation) of fellow child care providers to SECAC committee members but who do have a vote on the implementation of the CCDF State Plan, even bothered to attend! (OUT OF TOUCH!)
Fortunately, Administrative Procedures Law instructs the following:
(i) “Rule” means the whole or a part of an agency regulation or other statement of general applicability that implements, interprets or prescribes:
(i) Law or policy, or
(ii) The organization, procedure or practice requirements of an agency. The term includes the amendment, repeal or suspension of an existing rule.
§ 25-43-3.105. Economic impact statement, requirement and conditions.
(1) Prior to giving the notice required in Section 25-43-3.103, each agency proposing the adoption of a rule or amendment of an existing rule imposing a duty, responsibility or requirement on any person shall consider the economic impact the rule will have on the citizens of our state and the benefits the rule will cause to accrue to those citizens.
2) Each agency shall prepare a written report providing an economic impact statement for the adoption of a rule or amendment to an existing rule imposing a duty, responsibility or requirement on any person. The economic impact statement shall include…
(e) An analysis of the impact of the proposed rule on small business;
(g) A determination of whether less costly methods or less intrusive methods exist for achieving the purpose of the proposed rule where reasonable alternative methods exist which are not precluded by law;
(3) No rule or regulation shall be declared invalid based on a challenge to the economic impact statement for the rule unless the issue is raised in the agency proceeding. No person shall have standing to challenge a rule, based upon the economic impact statement or lack thereof, unless that person provided the agency with information sufficient to make the agency aware of specific concerns regarding the statement in an oral proceeding or in written comments regarding the rule.
(3) Before the adoption of a rule, an agency shall consider the written submissions, oral submissions or any memorandum summarizing oral submissions, and any economic impact statement, provided for by this Article III.
(2) An action to contest the validity of a rule on the grounds of its noncompliance with any provision of Sections 25-43-3.102 through 25-43-3.110 must be commenced within one (1) year after the effective date of the rule.
On February 19, 2016, child care leadership representing the Mississippi Child Care Coalition raised formal objection to the proposed “re-write” and continuation of Q.R.I.S. embedded in the 2017-2019 CCDF State Plan.
