FORENSIC CLIENT SERVICES ACT REGULATION

Overview

RULE:

65E-20.010	Transportation

PURPOSE:

This purpose of this rulemaking activity is to update two rules in this Chapter to reflect current standards.

SUMMARY:

Chapter Section 65E-20.010 will be amended to update standards on the transportation of residents in state mental health treatment facilities.  This driver’s license required by employees providing transportation will be aligned to current Florida licensure classifications.  This rule will also be amended to permit transportation of forensic clients residing in civil mental health treatment facilities in the same vehicle as non-forensic residents, thereby reducing costs on the facility without loss of safety for the residents. Chapter Section 65E-20.011 will be amended to update contact information for the Forensic Admission Coordinator in the Program Office and the Mentally Retarded Defendants program at Florida State Hospital.
