The proposed amendments update the rules to implement changes recommended during the annual Developmental Disabilities Services (DDS) rule review process. The proposed amendment achieves Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) goals by: (1) removing references to the Office of Client Advocacy (OCA) which will be transferred to and become a part of the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH); (2) removing references to the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman while will be transferred to and become a part of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) pursuant to the governor approval of State Bill 1709; and (3) ensuring accurate program administration. The proposed amendments update the rules to: (1) clarify services a legally responsible individual can provide to a member for whom they are legally responsible; (2) identify a new residential service, extensive residential supports (ERS), and training requirements for staff providing ERS; and (3) implement a change recommended after the Oklahoma Department of Health completed a survey of the Robert M. Greer Center.
