The Board reviewed the most recent changes to draft Rule 117 for Home Based Services. Changes to the draft were based on comments received from stakeholders when DDD posted the draft Rule on the DHS website.
Revisions include the revised definitions of Intellectual Disability and Developmental Disability that were taken from the AAIDD and the DSC V definitions. The Board also reviewed draft language on Termination/Appeals. Individuals who are in Home and community Based (HCBS) Waivers must be offered the right to appeal a termination from a HCBS waiver service; language needs to be redrafted to indicate this. The Division will finalize the changes and send to DHS Rules Bureau.
There were no public comments made during this meeting.
Meeting adjourned.
