Section 612:1-13-10 - Determination of site or location of facilities

The site of the offices or facilities of the Department or of a vendor-recipient with whom the Department contracts for the delivery of services will be reasonably accessible to all minority groups. The access to services rendered by the Department or its contractual participants in a Federally assisted program shall not limit access to those services to those minority groups or jeopardize such access by an adverse change in the geographic location or relocation. Upon all applications for grants, reimbursements, or provision of services by institutional vendors, the Department shall withhold approval until compliance with the Civil Rights requirements is met, based on criteria in (1)-(4) of this Section:

(1) determine effect on the particular racial or ethnic groups served by the facility prior to the proposed relocation;

(2) where a particular group has no other alternative services available, the subject contractual participant assures services for minority persons;

(3) the relocating agency provides adequate assurances that it does provide services to persons residing in the community (i.e., specialty hospitals or other unique service facilities); and,

(4) the relocating agency provides adequate assurances that the facilities or agencies remaining in the area originally serviced will provide adequate services to the concerned racial or ethnic group.
