| 13 CSR 35-71.045 | This amendment reorganizes and simplifies the requirements that individuals must complete in order to become and remain employees of licensed residential care facilities (LRCFs), the documents that LRCFs must maintain in its personnel records, and the requirements governing the content of staff orientation and training. This amendment conforms Rule 13 CSR 35-71.045 to section 210.493, RSMo, as amended by Senate Bill 40, which took effect August 28, 2023. Section 210.493 RSMo no longer requires officers, managers, and other support staff of licensed residential care facilities (LRCFs) to undergo the background checks mandated in section 210.493. This amendment also conforms 13 CSR 35-71.045 to Rule 13 CSR 35-71.015, which permits LRCFs, with the Department’s permission, to hire personnel prior to completing all background checks. | No | Missouri Register – November 1, 2024 Volume 49, Number 21 (Pages 1580-1583) | 11/01/2024 |
