Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Division:

Family Safety and Preservation Program

Chapter:

FOSTER CARE LICENSING

Overview

RULE:

65C-13.030

Standards for Licensed Out-of-Home Caregivers (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

Currently, Chapter 65C-13, Florida Administrative Code, does not have measurement standards for food holding temperatures, vermin control, water supply, garbage and rubbish disposal or sewage. Due to the lack of standards to define satisfactory in the above-mentioned areas, Department of Health will immediately cease to inspect these areas in family foster homes. The intent of this rule revision is to create the necessary verbiage that will appropriately reflect standards for the inspection of these vital areas and ensure the continued safety and well-being of the children served by Department of Children and Families. This rule revision will allow the Department of Health to create a form, specifically for the inspection of family foster homes; the inspection form will include all areas of health and safety previously mentioned in this statement.

SUMMARY:

The new rule provides standards for the measurement of food holding temperatures, vermin control, water supply, sewage, and garbage.
