FCASMTL 125 (5101:2-33-18 and 5101:2-39-07.3 Rescinded - Archive)
Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Transmittal Letter No. 125
June 24, 2002
TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Thomas J. Hayes, Director
SUBJECT: Rescission of Ohio Administrative Code Rules 5101:2-33-18 and 5101:2-39-07.3

This letter transmits the removal of two Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rules, 5101:2-33-18, purchase of service agreements for foster care and placement services and 5101:2-39-07.3, kinship care family preservation supportive services from the Family, Children and Adult Services Manual.

Due to the fiscal accountability provisions of House Bill 448 that were enacted in rule by Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Transmittal Letter (FCASMTL) No. 110, OAC 5101:2-33-18 is no longer needed. FCASMTL No. 110 contained OAC rule 5101:2-47-23.1 which established the requirement that a Public Children Services Agency (PCSA) must maintain a system of contracts and contract monitoring when purchasing foster care from private providers. Also, FCASMTL No. 110 Appendix A contains a sample contract that the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) has developed for counties to use or to adapt for use when purchasing foster care from private agencies.

OAC rule 5101:2-39-07.3 is being rescinded as the funding for the Kinship Care Family Preservation Supportive Services is no longer a separate budgetary line item. The requirements and implementation of this program are at the discretion of the local public children services agencies.

The effective date of both rule rescissions is August 1, 2002.
