=C2=A0
Notes |
Kathy Skippen =
=E2=80=93 Currently a rule exists to conduct background checks on =
providers who work with juveniles, providers to the adult population do =
not have this stipulation. In treatment for substance use disorder, we =
have a very vulnerable population. Want to mirror the rule for adults =
that we have for adolescents. We can do this as an emergency rule since =
it pertains to safety.
Discussion: What is =
the fiscal impact? The question has been asked and DHW will get back to =
the committee. This rule change will be done at the end of the next =
legislative session. Fiscal impact on state police? Adam Walsh Act has =
implications here.=C2=A0 Steve Bywater would be a good source and Dawn =
Peck. PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) would also be relevant, Sharon =
Harrigfeld recommends that we contact private providers about what the =
fiscal impact of this would be. Need to have a transition plan to spread =
this out, then the workload increase will be mitigated. Service levels =
could decline if this is required too soon, for instance July 1. Some of =
the juvenile providers do adult work, so some are already done. =

Russell to form an MOU to state what information we want to share and =
the ways we want to disseminate the information. Shane Evans recommends =
that we create a protocol to remove any identifying information from the =
shared information for client privacy. Look at putting together a =
committee to review this. Col. Russell would want to be involved in that =
committee. Can get the Sherriff associations involved, the ICJC and/or =
the universities.
