DEPARTMENT OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES

Proposed Renewal of Variances to Rules and Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115)

Notice of action: The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS), in accordance with Part VI, Variances (12VAC35-115-220 et seq.), of the Rules and Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115), hereafter referred to as "Human Rights Regulations," is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the applications for proposed renewal of existing variances to the Human Rights Regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure and protect the legal and human rights of individuals receiving services in facilities or programs operated, licensed, or funded by DBHDS.

Each variance application references the specific part of these regulations to which a variance is needed, the proposed wording of the substitute rule or procedure, and the justification for a variance. Such application also describes time limits and other conditions for duration and the circumstances that will end the applicability of the variance. After considering all available information including comments, DBHDS intends to submit a written decision deferring, disapproving, modifying, or approving each renewal application. All variances shall be approved for a specific time period. The decision and reasons for variance will be published in a later issue of the Virginia Register.

Purpose of notice: DBHDS is seeking comment on the applications for proposed renewal of the following existing variances to the Human Rights Regulations at the DBHDS Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation (VCBR).

Variance to Complaint Procedure:

The Human Rights Regulations provide a comprehensive complaint resolution process that includes access to a Local Human Rights Committee and the State Human Rights Committee (SHRC). VCBR Facility Instruction No. 202, Resident Complaint Resolutions, provides the procedures for addressing resident complaints. VCBR's variances to these regulations are reviewed by the SHRC at least annually with VCBR providing reports to the SHRC regarding the variance as requested.

• 12VAC35-115-50 D 3 e (5): Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation

• 12VAC35-115-60 B 1 d: Services

• 12VAC35-115-140 A 2, A 4: Complaints and Fair Hearing

• 12VAC35-115-150: General Provisions

• 12VAC35-115-170: Formal Complaint Process

• 12VAC35-115-180: Local Human Rights Committee Hearing and Review Procedures

• 12VAC35-115-190: Special Procedures for Emergency Hearing by LHRC

• 12VAC35-115-200: Special Procedures for LHRC Reviews Involving Consent and Authorization

• 12VAC35-115-210: State Human Rights Committee Appeals Procedure

Variance for rooms within medical unit with no windows:

VCBR has four bedrooms in its medical unit that do not meet the requirement of this regulation.

• 12VAC35-115-50 C 3 d. Live in a humane, safe, sanitary environment that gives each individual, at a minimum, windows or skylights in all major areas used by individuals.

VCBR maintains established procedures for this variance. VCBR provides a monthly report to the SHRC on how many times rooms with no windows within the medical unit of VCBR are used during the previous month.

Variance for double-bunking:

Following the mandate by the General Assembly (Chapter 806 of the 2013 Acts of Assembly), VCBR has implemented double-bunking (two individuals residing in a single room). For this reason, the regulation listed below is not applicable to VCBR.

• 12VAC35-115-50 C 3 a. Reasonable privacy and private storage space.

• 12VAC35-115-50 C 3 e. Clean air, free of bad odors.

VCBR Facility Instruction No. 124, Resident Housing Assignment, describes how residents' housing assignments are determined and shall substitute for these regulations. VCBR provides a monthly report to the SHRC on how many residents are double-bunked, complaints received by residents regarding double-bunking, and any medication sessions treatment staff hold with roommates to resolve concerns related to double-bunking.

Public comment period: January 26, 2016, through February 26, 2016.

Description of proposal: The proposed variance applications for renewal consist of a demonstration of compliance with the general requirements of Part VI, Variances (12VAC35-115-220 et seq.), of the Rules and Regulations to Assure the Rights of Individuals Receiving Services from Providers Licensed, Funded, or Operated by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-115).

BOARD FOR HEARING AID SPECIALISTS AND OPTICIANS

The Board for Hearing Aid Specialists and Opticians is publishing its report of findings dated December 30, 2015, to support this decision in accordance with § 2.2-4007.1 F of the Code of Virginia.

Section 2.2-4007.02 of the Code of Virginia mandates the Board for Hearing Aid Specialists and Opticians solicit the input of interested parties in the formation and development of its regulations.

The regulation is necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare by establishing public participation guidelines that promote public involvement in the development, amendment, or repeal of an agency's regulation. By soliciting the input of interested parties, the board is better equipped to effectively regulate the occupation or profession. Since no complaints or comments were received during the public comment period, there does not appear to be a reason to amend or repeal the regulation. The regulation is clearly written and easily understandable. The regulation does not overlap, duplicate, or contravene federal or state law or regulation. The most recent periodic review occurred in 2011. On December 16, 2015, the board reviewed the regulation and, for the reasons stated, determined that the regulation should not be amended or repealed but should be retained in its current form.
