Titles of Regulations: 22VAC40-191. Background Checks for Child Welfare Agencies (repealing 22VAC40-191-10 through 22VAC40-191-150).

Statutory Authority: §§ 63.2-217 and 63.2-1734 of the Code of Virginia.

The State Board of Social Services has WITHDRAWN the regulatory action for 22VAC40-191, Background Checks for Child Welfare Agencies, and 22VAC40-192, Background Checks for Child Welfare Agencies, which was published as a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action in 35:14 VA.R. 1840 March 4, 2019. The action addresses standards for, among other entities, child day centers, family day homes, and family day systems. This action is being withdrawn because the State Board of Social Services no longer has authority to promulgate this regulation due to transfer of the regulations and regulatory authority to the State Board of Education pursuant to Chapters 860 and 861 of the 2020 Acts of Assembly. Therefore, this action is withdrawn.
