Pursuant to section 5103.20 and Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code, the director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services gives notice of the department's intent to consider the adoption, amendment, or rescission of the rule or rules as identified below and of a public hearing thereon.

 

Rule 5101:2-52-02, entitled General Requirements Applicable to Interstate Placements of Children, is being proposed for rescission because the requirements have been incorporated into OAC 5101:2-52-04 and 5101:2-52-06. This rule sets forth the overall requirements that apply to all ICPC requests.

 

Rule 5101:2-52-04 entitled Requirements Applicable to Interstate Placement of Children when a PCSA, PCPA or Ohio Court is the Sending Agency, is being proposed for rescission because of the decentralization process for the functions of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC). This rule sets forth the requirements that are required when a Public Children Services Agency (PCSA), Private Child Placing Agency (PCPA) or court is placing a child into another state or territory. It is being replaced by new rule 5101:2-52-04.

 

Rule 5101:2-52-04 entitled PCSA responsibilities for interstate compact on the placement of children, is being proposed for adoption because of decentralizing the functions of ICPC.  This rule sets forth ICPC requirements for PCSAs. PCSAs will no longer send or receive ICPC cases through ODJFS. PCSAs will interact directly with Compact or Deputy Compact Administrators in other states. Each PCSA Director (or his or her designee) would serve as the Assistant Deputy Compact Administrator for his or her respective county and have the authority to receive and send requests directly with other state ICPC Offices, or if the other state is decentralized, with the local entity in that state. It replaces rescinded rules 5101:2-52-04 and a portion of 5101:2-52-02.

 

Rule 5101:2-52-06 entitled Requirements applicable to interstate placement of children when the PCSA, PCPA, or PNA is the receiving agency, is being proposed for rescission because of the decentralization process for the functions of ICPC.  This rule sets forth the requirements that are required when another state or territory places a child into Ohio. It is being replaced by new rule 5101:2-52-06.

 

Rule 5101:2-52-06 entitled PCPA, PNA and court requirements for the interstate compact on the placement of children, is being proposed for adoption because of decentralizing the functions of ICPC.  This rule sets forth the requirements for private agencies and

 

 

 

 

 

courts when placing or supervising children placed across state lines. It replaces rescinded rules 5101:2-52-06 and a portion of 5101:2-52-02.

A copy of the proposed rule(s) is available, without charge, to any person affected by the rule(s) at the address listed below. The rule(s) is also available on the internet at  http://www.registerofohio.state.oh.us/. A public hearing on the proposed rule(s) will be held at the date, time, and location listed at the top of this notice. Either written or oral testimony will be taken at the public hearing.
