Purpose:

Consensus Rule Making Determination
14 NYCRR Part 823, “Outpatient Chemical Dependency Services for Youth Programs and Services,” was added and became effective November 23, 1994. Part 822 was added August 7, 2002 pursuant to which outpatient services were available to any person over the age of eighteen. As of August 1, 2016 all programs certified pursuant to Part 823 have converted to certification pursuant to Part 822, making Part 823 obsolete and irrelevant.
This rule making is filed as a Consensus rule because its purpose is to repeal obsolete regulations to which no person is likely to object. This proposal has been circulated within the provider community and received no objections. The Behavioral Health Services Advisory Council approved advancing this rule without objection on September 20, 2016.
Job Impact Statement
OASAS is not submitting a Job Impact Statement for this amendment because OASAS does not anticipate a substantial adverse impact on jobs and employment opportunities. The proposed rulemaking repeal an obsolete rule of the Office because no programs are subject to provisions of this Part; all provisions have been incorporated into existing rules of the Office (14 NYCRR Part 822).
