The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Division of Children and Family Services is holding this hearing to accept comments on proposed changes to regulations related to the Alternative Response Program. These regulations are found in Title 395, Chapter 9 of the Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC).
These are new regulations which implement and govern alternative response under the Child Protection and Family Safety Act. Alternative response allows DHHS to offer supports and services to families whose cases do not require an investigation or formal determination of whether child abuse or neglect occurred.
Authority for these regulations is found in Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-712 (4) and 81-3117(7).
