Current through Rules and Regulations filed through June 27, 2024

				should not be applied as written because strict application of the rule would

				standards affording protection for the health, safety and care of the children
				exist and will be met in lieu of the exact requirements of the rule or
				regulation in question.
(b) Waiver.

				regulation by granting a waiver upon a showing by the applicant or petitioner
				that the purpose of the rule or regulation is met through equivalent standards
				affording equivalent protection for the health, safety and care of the
				children.
(c) Experimental Variance
				or Waiver. The Department may grant waivers and variances to allow
				experimentation and demonstration of new and innovative approaches to delivery

				service delivery.
