| Description of Subjects/Issues |
Some Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) rules limit the ability for agencies to provide behavioral health services via telehealth amid the COVID-19 crisis and require in-person or face-to-face contact. This emergency rule update allows the utilization of verbal consent to treatment, receipt of behavioral health services through video technology, emergency license modification for agencies to continue to provide behavioral health services in the event of a statewide emergency, and modification of on-site inspection requirements for agency license and designation reviews. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |

| Comments |
CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. This rule will permanently adopt a rule adopted on an emergency/temporary basis in April 2020, SOS 2020-00213. Meeting information:
