Action Summary This is a joint action to repeal eight regulations and replace them with one comprehensive new Permanency Services regulation that will encompass the full range of services for providing a child with a safe, secure and stable situation in which to grow up. Currently regulations addressing permanency services for children are contained in eight different regulations which were promulgated at different times. Combining these regulations into one comprehensive regulation will ensure consistency in definitions and language and will limit the number of regulations individuals must use when addressing issues related to permanency services for children.
Exempt from APA No, this action is subject to the Administrative Process Act and the standard executive branch review process.
