Text of Regulation Link to Virginia Administrative Code
Goals of Regulation Moving the pre-existing chapter from the Department for the Aging to the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, which was created as a result of the Governor's reorganization of the executive branch of state government. This reorganization eliminates the Department for the Aging and the Department of Rehabilitative Services and transfers the powers and duties of those agencies to the newly created Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services. This action will change agency name and code citations in the regulations to reflect the new agency
