The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has posted one new policy and procedures for review and comment on MyFlorida.com: http://www.djj.state.fl.us/policies_procedures/policyreview.html.

Quality Assurance Policy and Procedures – (FDJJ 1720 & 1720P) defines procedures for waivers and alternative compliance measures, failed standards, internal review board, and deemed status, as it relates to the Department of Juvenile Justice’s Quality Assurance system.

This new Quality Assurance (QA) policy and procedures was developed to replace four (4) existing QA policies currently posted. QA is currently operating under the draft QA rule process (Chapter 63L-2, F.A.C., Quality Assurance) that will not be finalized until July 2011. This new policy and procedures reflects the draft QA Rule that is presently out there with no additional fiscal impact anticipated. The policy and procedures are posted for a single 20 working day review and comment period, with a closure date of October 7, 2010 for submission of comments. (The deadline for comments based on the date this notice appears in the Florida Administrative Weekly.)

Responses to comments received will be posted during the review period to the extent possible, but no later than 10 working days after the end of the review period on the above Website.
