PUBLIC NOTICE - Department of Economic Security Notice of Termination of Rulemaking

The Department of Economic Security (the Department) remains committed to revising the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) rules located in Title 6, Chapter 6, Article 9 of the Arizona Administrative Code (6 A.A.C. 6, Article 9 - Managing Inappropriate Behaviors), in accordance with the governing laws, best practices, and needs of DDD members it serves. Consistent with that intention, and as a result of comments and questions regarding the Notice of Final Rulemaking expressed during the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council’s (GRRC's) Study Session on November 29, 2022, the Department will engage our stakeholder community again in an attempt to reach a better understanding around the prospective revisions. 

Therefore, the Department filed a formal Notice of Termination of Rulemaking with the Secretary of State today Monday, December 5, 2022.

It remains the Department's ultimate goal to produce rules and policy that support the highest standards of service delivery to DDD members. The Department will continue to engage the stakeholder community as it pursues DDD policy changes and revisions to Article 9 that allow the Department to achieve this goal.
