The Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (ODMRDD) hereby gives notice of its intent to rescind and adopt the below-listed rules under Chapter 5123:1-1 of the Administrative Code on a permanent basis on or about July 20, 2008, and to conduct a public hearing thereon.

Rule 5123:1-1-03 entitled "Distribution of Community Assistance Funds for Purchase of Housing" is being proposed for rescission and replacement by a new rule of the same number.

Rule 5123:1-1-03 entitled "Distribution of Community Assistance Funds for the Acquisition of Housing" is a new rule being proposed for adoption. The rule sets forth a process to allow ODMRDD to make available community assistance funds to assist county boards of mental retardation and developmental disabilities to acquire housing for individuals receiving supported living or individuals receiving supported living under a home and community-based services waiver.

A public hearing on the proposed rules will be held on June 12, 2008, beginning at 10:00 a.m., and continuing until all persons in attendance have had an opportunity to testify. The hearing will be held in the large conference room of the Department's Administrative Offices Building located at 1810 Sullivant Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43223-1239. At this hearing, the Department will accept verbal and/or written testimony on the proposed rules under consideration.

Persons unable to attend the public hearing may submit written comments on the proposed rules. Any written comments received on or before the public hearing date will be treated as testimony and made available for public review. Submittal of written comments may be made to Becky Phillips, Administrative Rules Coordinator, by e-mail to becky.phillips@dmr.state.oh.us; by fax to 614/752-8551; or by mail to 30 East Broad Street, 12th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3414.

The proposed rules are available on the Register of Ohio website at: http://registerofohio.state.oh.us and on the Department's website at: http://mrdd.ohio.gov/rules/development.htm.
