Section 10:162-11.1 - Criteria for Intoxicated Driver Resource Center per diem fee increases

(a) The Commissioner of Health, in consultation with the Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, may entertain and grant a request from the Division, in coordination with the Directors of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers, for a per diem fee increase for all Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers, when it has been determined by the Director of the Division that more than 50 percent of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers are operating in deficit, based upon the annual income and expenditure reports submitted pursuant to N.J.A.C. 10:162-2.7.

(b) In calculating an appropriate fee increase, the Commissioner may take into account such factors as the rate of inflation since the previous fee increase, changes in client volume of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers, increased work load as a result of legislation and rulemaking, the estimated projected rate of inflation, and the intent that Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers be self-supporting. The Commissioner may also require an independent review of the income and expenditure reports and/or documentation of an independent audit consistent with Department of Human Services standards.

(c) Any Intoxicated Driver Resource Center not incurring a deficit at the time of a fee increase may use any excess revenues generated by the fee increase for assessment or treatment enhancement or shall place any such revenues into a special reserve to cover the costs of future deficits or variations in client volume.
