| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The proposed rule changes and additions in Resources, Reimbursement, Reporting, and Provider Requirements support legislation passed in the Spring of 2021. SB 21-137 declared that CDHS should provide resources to providers to address the emergency need for increased placement for children and youth with acute and severe behavioral or mental health needs. The legislation requires CDHS to develop a program to provide emergency resources to licensed providers to help remove barriers such providers face in serving children and youth whose behavioral or mental health needs require services and treatment in a residential child care facility. As a result, CDHS will contract with two residential providers, a qualified residential treatment program (QRTP) and a psychiatric residential treatment facility (PRTF), for 17 acute residential (AR) beds. Similar to the rules promulgated to guide county departments on placement in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Residential Child Care Facility (IDD RCCF), rules will need to be established for eligibility criteria, referral procedures, admissions, and discharges for counties that desire to utilize the AR beds. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. It is anticipated that this hearing will permanently adopt ER adopted 10/8 SOS#2021-00568. NOTE: IT is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.
