Universal Citation: AR Admin Rules 016.23.11-002

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 9, September, 2024

Section V.

1. There is a moratorium on the certification of new RSPMI sites. "New site" means any site not certified as an RSPMI site as of October 31, 2008, except:
(i) sites for which a pending application was under review by the Division of Behavioral Health Services on October 31, 2008;

(ii) replacement sites opened by an existing provider to provide ongoing continuity of RSPMI services when the provider is terminating services at a currently certified and operating RSPMI site;

(iii) sites in continuous lawful operation furnishing RSPMI services since May 31, 2008.

2. The moratorium shall be in effect until December 31, 2012, unless altered by amendment of this rule.

3. If the Director of the Division of Behavioral Health Services determines that the moratorium is causing an undue hardship to persons with mental illness, the Director may authorize a reasonable accommodation. An undue hardship may exist if medically necessary services become unavailable due to closure of a site or an RSPMI provider ceasing operations.

4. This moratorium shall not prohibit existing RSPMI providers from delivering RSPMI services in public schools under § III(T) of the RSPMI Certification Manual.
