Revised Draft: New General Chapter (12VAC35-106), Rules and Regulations for Licensing Providers by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services
To: Providers Licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services
From: Jae Benz, Director, Office of Licensing
Subject: Response to Periodic Review: "Overhaul" of Licensing Regulations to Service Specific Chapters - Draft Revisions to "General Chapter"; Initial Drafts of "Residential Chapter" and Home/Noncenter Based Chapter"
Date: May 19, 2021

Background: In late 2017, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) conducted a periodic review of the Rules and Regulations for Licensing Providers by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (12VAC35-105, Licensing Regulations). At the completion of that review, the department decided amendments to the regulations were needed. After researching other states and other agencies within Virginia, the Office of Licensing determined to split the regulations into several separate regulatory chapters, revising both the structure and the content.
In response to significant public comment, the structure will include one overarching "General Chapter" that will apply to all providers and five "service specific" chapters: Residential, Crisis, Center-Based, Home/Non-Center Based, and Case Management. The attached listing of the chapters provides more information. This methodology allows DBHDS to write more detailed service specific regulations that will assist providers in understanding exactly which regulatory provisions apply to their services.
In late 2019, the Office of Licensing published an initial draft of the General Chapter for public comment and also held two regulatory advisory panel (RAP) meetings to receive technical assistance on the content of that initial draft. Since reviewing the public comments received and the feedback provided by the RAP, DBHDS edited the General Chapter and also developed initial drafts of a Residential Chapter and a Home/Non-Center Based Chapter.
Drafts for Comment: DBHDS is releasing an extensively revised draft General Chapter, and initial drafts of the Residential and the Home/Non-Center Based chapters for public comment.
There is a public comment forum for each of the three draft chapters open from June 7 to July 22, 2021. All are accessible at https://townhall.virginia.gov/L/generalnotice.cfm. The link to the Residential Chapter is provided at the end of this notice.
Provide feedback via the public comment forums for any of the draft chapters on Virginia Regulatory Town Hall or by emailing Susan Puglisi, Regulatory Research Specialist, DBHDS Office of Regulatory Affairs at susan.puglisi@dbdhs.virginia.gov. Public comments may also be submitted by fax (804) 371-4609 or by postal mail to: Attn: Susan Puglisi, DBHDS, Jefferson Building, 1220 Bank Street, 4th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219. Direct questions to Susan Puglisi or Ruth Anne Walker, Director of the Office of Regulatory Affairs at ruthanne.walker@dbhds.virginia.gov.
Future Drafts: Work continues on the Crisis, Center-Based, and Case Management chapters; initial drafts of those chapters will be released at a later time.
Response to Periodic Review versus Behavioral Health Redesign: It is important to distinguish this drafting effort of the response to periodic review of the Licensing Regulations from other current discussions and regulatory actions regarding only behavioral health redesign (Project BRAVO).
• Response to Periodic Review: Draft changes for the response to periodic review will be in a separate action and are not expected to take effect until 2023 following the standard process (http://townhall.virginia.gov/um/chartstandardbasic.pdf), which takes an average of 18 months to two years to complete. These are only drafts at this time; no formal regulatory action has been filed.
• Behavioral Health Redesign (Project BRAVO): The current effective Licensing Regulations (12VAC35-105) will be the vehicle for any required department regulatory changes that come from the behavioral health redesign, in effect through emergency regulations (https://www.townhall.virginia.gov/L/ViewChapter.cfm?chapterid=2074) authorized by the General Assembly.
