Paragraph (B)(5)(c) contained more restrictive limitations than the required limitations found within the Code of Federal Regulations. Those limitations have been removed.

INSTRUCTIONS for CSEA INTERNAL PROCEDURAL HANDBOOK:

Paragraph (I)(1) of OAC rule 5101:12-1-01 states that, whenever a program change requires modification of local procedures, the CSEA is required to revise its internal procedural handbook and submit the revision to OCS within thirty days of the revision. The CSEA should carefully review the amended rules contained in this CSPMTL to determine whether they require the CSEA to update its internal procedural handbook.
