NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND REPEAL

 

NO PUBLIC HEARING CONTEMPLATED

 

TO: All Concerned Persons

 

            1. On January 7, 2020, the Department of Labor and Industry (department) proposes to amend and repeal the above-stated rules.

 

            2. The department will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in the rulemaking process and need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact the department no later than 5:00 p.m., on December 20, 2019, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need. Please contact Grace Berger, Business Standards Division, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513; telephone (406) 841-2244; Montana Relay 1 (800) 253-4091; TDD (406) 444-2978; facsimile (406) 841-2305; or gberger@mt.gov.

 

            3. GENERAL STATEMENT OF REASONABLE NECESSITY: The Department of Labor and Industry determined it is reasonably necessary to amend ARM 24.101.413 and repeal ARM Title 24, chapter 181 because these rules are no longer in force. The 2019 Montana Legislature enacted Chapter 293, Laws of 2019 (Senate Bill 267), an act to terminate the Board of Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs and transfer the licensing and regulatory duties of the board to the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). The bill was signed by the Governor on May 3, 2019 and became effective on July 1, 2019.

            The DPHHS and interested stakeholders met and drafted new administrative rules to implement Senate Bill 267 and facilitate DPHHS's regulation of Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs. The new rules became effective November 8, 2019, and the Department of Labor and Industry's rules are no longer valid or necessary.

 

            4. The rule proposed to be amended is as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:

 

            24.101.413 RENEWAL DATES AND REQUIREMENTS

            (1) through (5)(z) remain the same.

            (ab) through (am) remain the same but are renumbered (aa) through (al).

            (6) and (7) remain the same.

            6. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments concerning the proposed amendment and repeal in writing to Private Alternative Adolescent Residential or Outdoor Programs, Business Standards Division, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513, by facsimile to (406) 841-2305, or e-mail to gberger@mt.gov, to be received no later than 5:00 p.m., January 3, 2020.

 

            7. If persons who are directly affected by the proposed actions wish to express their data, views, or arguments orally or in writing at a public hearing, they must make written request for a hearing and submit this request along with any written comments to Grace Berger at the above address no later than 5:00 p.m., January 3, 2020.

 

            8. If the department receives requests for a public hearing on the proposed amendment and repeal from either 10 percent or 25, whichever is less, of the persons who are directly affected by the proposed rules; from the appropriate administrative rule review committee of the Legislature; from a governmental subdivision or agency; or from an association having not less than 25 members who will be directly affected, a hearing will be held at a later date. Notice of the hearing will be published in the Montana Administrative Register. Ten percent of those persons directly affected has been determined to be zero persons based on the department no longer issuing these license types.

 

            9. An electronic copy of this notice is available through the Secretary of State's web site at https://sosmt.gov/arm/. Although the department strives to keep its web sites accessible at all times, concerned persons should be aware that web sites may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems, and that technical difficulties in accessing a web site do not excuse late submission of comments.

 

            10. The department maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions. Persons who wish to have their name added to the list shall make a written request that includes the name, e-mail, and mailing address of the person to receive notices and specifies that the person wishes to receive notices regarding all administrative rulemaking proceedings or other administrative proceedings. The request must indicate whether e-mail or standard mail is preferred. Such written request may be sent or delivered to Grace Berger, Business Standards Division, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513, faxed to the office at (406) 841-2305, e-mailed to gberger@mt.gov, or made by completing a request form at any rules hearing held by the agency.

 

            11. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, do not apply.

 

            12. Regarding the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the department has determined that the amendment and repeal of the above-stated rules will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.
