Current through Rules and Regulations filed
				through June 27, 2024
Each Maternity Home shall have a board of directors which
				  operates as the governing board of the agency. The governing board shall be
				  organized so that legal responsibility and administrative authority shall be
				  clearly defined. This applies only to Maternity Homes chartered for non-profit
				  operation. In a privately owned home where maternity care is provided, the
				  owner and/or operator is legally responsible for the establishment and
				  enforcement of policies and the operation of the Home.
(a) Composition of Board.
1. The governing board shall be made up of
				men and women who are representative of the community served. Board members
				should be selected who have personal qualifications, interest, time and ability
				to provide leadership, to represent the agency, to interpret its program, and
				to participate fully and consistently in carrying out their
				responsibilities.
2. The board
				shall be composed of not less than ten and not more than thirty-five members
				unless provided otherwise by local ordinance.
3. Members shall not receive a salary for
				their services but may be reimbursed for expense incurred in connection with
				their office.
4. A meeting of the
				governing body shall be held at least ten (10) times a year.
5. Provisions should be made for systematic
				rotation of board members through a plan of overlapping terms of office. The
				number of consecutive terms for membership shall be limited.

Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27,
				2024
The Agency shall have a sound plan of financing which assures
				  sufficient funds to enable it to provide effective services. A new Agency shall
				  have sufficient funds to finance its first year of operation. All accounts
				  shall be audited at least annually by a certified public accountant and the
				  report made a part of the Agency record. An estimated budget, showing details
				  of income and expenditures for the approaching fiscal year, shall be prepared
				  and approved by the board prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. Board
				  officers and staff responsible for handling a substantial amount of funds shall
				  be bonded. Fund raising shall be carried on according to approved and ethical
				  processes. Unless specifically exempt by law, the Maternity Home must be
				  registered with the Secretary of State as a charitable organization. For
				  nonprofit agencies fees for clients shall be flexible, based on actual per diem
				  cost rate. A sliding scale based on the client's ability to pay or her
				  resources to meet the cost and the community's responsibility to provide an
				  adequate facility is desirable.
