The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) rule review process requires all rules to be reviewed at least every five years. The following rule was amended as part of the five year review and will be effective on April 1, 2014.

Rule 5101:2-13-02 "Types of licensed type A homes" defines the different types of child care that may be provided and the exemptions that apply to certain types of programs. This rule has been amended to remove the reference to rule 5101:2-13-32 that has been rescinded.

The electronic version of the Child Care Type A Home Manual is located at http://emanuals.jfs.ohio.gov. The manual contains all rules, forms, transmittal letters and procedure letters that the department has issued to child care providers. A current version of this manual should be utilized by all child care providers.
