This letter transmits the rescission and adoption of rule 5101:2-42-89 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The new rule will become effective November 8, 2009. The following is a brief explanation of the proposed changes.
OAC 5101:2-42-89 entitled "Death of a child in custody" is being rescinded and "Public children services agency and private child placing agency procedures when a child is receiving services or is in agency custody dies" is being adopted. This rule governs the provision of services required upon the death of a child in either the custody or is receiving services of the Public Children Services Agency (PCSA) or the Private Child Placing Agency (PCSA).
The JFS 01987 entitled "Child Fatality Report Face Sheet" has been revised to document if a child is receiving services or is in the custody of the PCSA or PCPA dies. This documentation is to be maintained in the child's case record, the provider's record and entered into SACWIS, if applicable. The JFS 01987-I has been created as guidance to the JFS 01987. This will supersede previous guidance provided by Family, Children and Adult Service Procedure Letter No. 83, October 21, 2004.
