The Joint Committee on Admininstrative Rules (JCAR) has approved the Department's changes to Administrative Rule 300. This was effective October 1, 2001.
Allegation #79 - Medical Neglect - has had all references to immunizations removed. Therefore, we will no longer be accepting reports on situations where a lack of immunizations is the only allegation. State Central Registry (SCR) staff should refer reporters to the Department of Public Health. Child Protection Investigators (CPs) who are currently investigating reports where a lack of immunizations is the only allegation should "Initiallly Unfound" them if they are still within the 14 day timeframe. If not, supervisors should review the reports and waive additional contacts so they can be Unfounded. Exceptions should be made if the investigation has revealed other potential harms.
