KSLA Meeting with the Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) ... a Summary
|
|
On Wednesday, January 30, Bob White, Susan Matherly, Michael Berg and Alice Tucker, members of the KSLA Board of Directors, met with Inspector General, Steve Davis and Commissioner Gadd and other staff of the Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) to discuss the proposed regulations regarding injunctive relief for DAIL. It was concluded with the Inspector General's opinion that DAIL needs language in the regulations to provide them injunctive relief in cases where providers were not responding to statements of danger or to DAIL's findings of non-compliance. KSLA agrees with this change in the proposed regulation.
Further, Bob and members of the KSLA Board of Directors will be meeting with DAIL again on February 8, 2019 to review definitions of certain terms and other language that we see a need to change in the proposed regulations. As things progress, we will let you know the outcome.
The most important part of all of this is that KSLA has been included in all discussions related to these proposed regulations. As we told DAIL on Wednesday, we sincerely appreciate their transparency in handling these particular issues.
