CCMTL 157 (Rescission of Chapter 15: Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies in the Ohio Administrative Code)
Child Care Manual Transmittal Letter No. 157
November 24, 2021
TO: All Child Care Manual Holders
FROM: Matt Damschroder, Director
SUBJECT: Rescission of Chapter 15: Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies in the Ohio Administrative Code

Background:

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) had promulgated rules for child care resource and referral agencies in Chapter 5101:2-15 of the Administrative Code.  Child care resource and referral agencies provide early care and education and support to providers, parents, and the community.

New Policy:

As a result of Amended Substitute House Bill 110 of the 134th Ohio General Assembly which removed the requirement for ODJFS to have rules for the resource and referral agencies. The rules contained in Chapter 5101:2-15 and in eManuals will be removed effective December 2, 2021.

Rescinded Rules:

5101:2-15-01 "Service Delivery Areas and Funding Formula for the Provision of Child Care Resource and Referral Services"

5101:2-15-02 "Child Care Resource and Referral Service Organization Qualifications, Services, and Technical Assistance"
