This letter transmits 36 amended Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rules governing children services licensing that have been reviewed consistent with the requirements of the state's five year rule review policy. Many of the changes reflect the change in the department's name or other minor cosmetic changes. Three of the rules apply to agencies, three to foster homes and the other 30 rules are applicable only to residential facilities. These changes will become effective September 1, 2002.
