Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Commission on the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program intends to consider repealing 24VAC35-30, VASAP Case Management Policy and Procedure Manual and promulgating 24VAC35-31, VASAP Case Management Policy and Procedures Manual. The purpose of the proposed action is to promulgate a new chapter to replace existing regulations due to extensive revisions to the Case Management Policy and Procedures Manual. The new manual covers the activities of VASAP case management, a probationary function of the courts comprised of referral, enrollment, intake, classification, offender intervention, case supervision/monitoring and court reporting. Case managers serve the court in coordinating the referral of the offender into appropriate community-based services pursuant to VASAP policy and procedure. Case managers and other staff may also provide noncourt related ancillary services.

The agency does not intend to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: § 18.2-271.2 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Comments: Public comments may be submitted until 5 p.m. on February 4, 2009.
