Section 427.024 - Reporting requirements for providers of community-based services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities; rules(1) The Department of Human Services shall adopt rules to ensure fiscal transparency in the provision of community-based services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and to ensure individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities receive high quality services from providers that are licensed, certified or endorsed by the department to provide community-based services. At a minimum, the rules must establish, for providers of community-based services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities: (a) Requirements to annually submit staffing data to a reporting survey organization specified by the department;(b) Requirements to submit an annual report to the department that includes:(A) A disclosure of executive compensation and benefits;(B) A disclosure of starting, average and highest wages for direct support professionals that are employed by, under contract with or otherwise engaged with the provider to deliver community-based services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities;(C) A disclosure of the provider's overhead expenses and expenditures; and(D) Any other fiscal matters prescribed by the department;(c) Requirements to ensure that wages and health benefits paid to direct support professionals delivering community-based supports reflect any increase in rates approved by the Legislative Assembly for the purpose of improving wages and health benefits;(d) Criteria for conditions under which a provider may be prohibited from applying for a license, certificate or endorsement;(e) Criteria for the inclusion of information about the organizational history of an applicant for a new license, certification or endorsement, not to exceed the 10 previous years; and(f) A process for the consideration of the regulatory and safety compliance and operational experience of all providers in this state or in any other jurisdiction when issuing an initial license, certification or endorsement or renewing a license, certification or endorsement.(2) Rules adopted by the department must, to the greatest extent practicable, consolidate new reporting requirements with existing reporting requirements to avoid the need for providers to make duplicative reports of the same information.Added by 2022 Ch. 91, § 2 427.024 was enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but was not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 427 or any series therein by legislative action.
