This letter transmits rule amendments and rescissions to Chapter 5101:2-16 rules resulting from partnership agreement negotiations between ODJFS and representative associations regarding the replacement of required statewide plans with procedures developed and implemented by county departments of job and family services, and the completion of a five year rule review conducted by the Bureau of Child Care. If any changes are made to these rules as a result of a public hearing or the JCARR hearing, you will be notified of the changes by an amended CCMTL. Otherwise, these rules will become effective January 1, 2002.

Rule 5101:2-16-07 "County department of job and family services responsibilities" is amended as follows: 1) Procedures developed and implemented by the CDJFS replace the provider recruitment plan, and a plan, submitted to ODJFS for approval, to ensure that the application process is as accessible to the public as possible replaces CDJFS policies; 2) Language regarding parental choice is added to the rule; 3) Language regarding reporting requirements using the automated child care information system is added to the rule.
