There is no indexed Filing for June 14, 2017 listed in the Administrative Bulletin.
To find public notice of the June 14th final DHS adoption of Standard and Comprehensive Centers without the APL required governing Program policy, you must “walk backwards” all the way to the first Notice of April 12, 2017 in order to see it.
Under Color of Law, DHS has willfully and deliberately put forth the proposed amendments as only a minor action (alleged fraud) to replace terms such as “licensed” and “unlicensed” with the more appropriate term “CCPP-approved”, and insists that “designating” centers that meet all the additional requirements above licensing requirements to become eligible to redeem CCPP vouchers as either Standard or Comprehensive Centers is not a Significant Amendment.
No Economic Impact Statement has been provided.
The SECAC plan is scheduled to be effective July 14, 2017.
In the meantime, an open meeting of the Standard Application Workgroup is scheduled to meet Tuesday, June 20, 2017. The meeting will be held at MDHS in the 8th floor training room (Room 830) from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
The Workgroup will learn of some of the governing policy that has been developed by SECAC, NSparc and DHS thus far.
Rule-making for Comprehensive and Standard Centers is ongoing.
