former requirement that the Department "provide for" these services by
placing children in group homes and institutions for clarity. The Human
Services Article Review Committee calls this substitution to the attention
of the General Assembly.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "the entities described
in subsection (a) of this section" is substituted for the former reference to
"these entities" for clarity.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the phrase "[t]he Department may
establish different reimbursement rates" is substituted for the former
phrase "[t]he reimbursement rate may differ" for clarity.
Also in subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former reference to
intermediate services "as defined by the Department" is deleted as implicit
in the Department's authority to establish reimbursement rates.
The Human Services Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that while subsections (a) and (b) of this section
refer to group homes and "institutions", subsection (c) of this section refers
to a group home or "other residential facility". The General Assembly may
wish to address this inconsistency.
