Summary:
The amendments are necessary to implement Chapter 29 of the 2009 Acts of Assembly where the General Assembly amended § 63.2-1704 of the Code of Virginia (Code) to eliminate the requirement for a regulation to govern the actions of Voluntary Registration (VR) Contracting Organizations that certify family day homes as eligible for registration. The Code still requires the Department of Social Services to contract with any organization performing the duties and responsibilities of a VR Contracting Organization.
