This letter transmits changes to several Ohio Administrative Code rules in chapter 5101:2-42 and a newly required form for use when initiating a placement through the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC). These changes are effective August 18, 2003.
The following rules were amended to update form numbers and to clarify wording:
OAC 5101:2-42-09 Permanent Surrender
OAC 5101:2-42-67 Documentation of Lifebook Activities
OAC 5101:2-42-71 Approval of Adult Supervised Living Arrangements
OAC 5101:2-42-21 Agency and Court Interstate Requirements was amended to clarify wording in the rule and to require the submission of a new form, "JFS 02424 ICPC Placement and Financial Information" as part of the documentation needed to initiate placement requests. The new form is included with this letter.
OAC 5101:2-42-96 Phase-In for Obtaining Permanent Custody/Termination of Parental Rights was rescinded because it contained the provision for phasing in the requirements for termination of parental rights of children. The phase in period is over and this rule was obsolete.
