| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
A review of the rule was completed to come into compliance with Child Care Assistance Program regulation by the designated deadlines that are outlined in State Statute and Federal Regulations.
• Because the Federal requirements have a different implementation deadline than those required by State Statute, we will be adopting the Federal requirements with an effective date of June 1, 2016. The statutory requirements will be adopted with an effective date of July 1, 2016. This is also being done with consideration on the burden of the counties as the statutory requirements will require more time for the State and County Departments to prepare for the implementation.
Changes proposed by the Child Care Rule Rewrite Task Group, comprised of County Child Care Program Staff, were also incorporated in these emergency rules in order to better facilitate clear processes for counties and providers. |
