(8) REQUIRE THE PROVIDER TO COMPLY WITH § 7-309 OF THE

EXPENDITURES PREPARED BY A LICENSED ACCOUNTANT;
(II) A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL AUDIT PREPARED BY A LICENSED

(10) REQUIRE THE PROVIDER AND THE EMPLOYEES OF THE PROVIDER
WHO HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH CHILDREN IN THE RESIDENTIAL CHILD CARE
PROGRAM TO BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE; AND
(11) REQUIRE THE RESIDENTIAL CHILD CARE PROGRAM TO HAVE A
CERTIFIED PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR AS REQUIRED UNDER § 20-301 OF THE
HEALTH OCCUPATIONS ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 49D, § 7-104.
In item (1) of this section, the former reference to "Title 7, Subtitle 9, of the
Health - General Article", which requires licensing by the Developmental
Disabilities Administration before providing specified services to an
individual with a developmental disability, is deleted as inconsistent with
the definition of "residential child care program" applicable to this subtitle,
which excludes sites licensed by the Developmental Disabilities
Administration. This deletion is called to the attention of the General
Assembly.
Also in item (1) of this section, the Human Services Article Review
Committee notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that the
reference to "[§] 5-507 ... of the Family Law Article", which requires
licenses for child placement agencies, may be over-inclusive. The General
Assembly may wish to consider deleting this reference.
In the introductory language of item (2) and in item (2)(iii) of this section,
the references to "provisions" and "provision" are substituted for the
former references to "statements" and "statement" for clarity.
In item (2)(i) of this section, the former reference to "a residential child
care program" is deleted as redundant in light of the reference to a
"residential child care program" in the introductory language of this
section.
