Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment makes broad changes to the
				  Vocational Rehabilitation program to ensure compliance with federal law and
				  regulations, ensure federal language is not replicated where possible, and
				  reduce regulations/restrictions where practical.
PURPOSE: This rule establishes the guidelines for
				  provision of vocational rehabilitation services to applicants and eligible
				  clients as mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ( P.L. 93-112 ), as
				  amended through 2020, 34 CFR 361 and 34 CFR 363. These services are authorized
				  by sections
				  207.010,
				  209.010
				  and
				  209.020,
				  RSMo.

(1) The program of vocational rehabilitation
				for the blind (VR) is administered pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
				as amended, Title 16 of Chapter 29, United States Code, and Chapter 209, RSMo.
				Federal law requires Rehabilitation Services for the Blind (RSB) to develop
				policies that govern the administration of the vocational rehabilitation
				program and allows RSB to develop limitations within which it administers some
				areas of the program.
Therefore, except as otherwise provided and as allowed by
				  federal law, this rule hereby incorporates by reference the provisions and
				  definitions from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) listed below as
				  published by the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol St. NW,
