Agency: Human Services

Line Item: Executive Director Operations

Function

The Executive Director Operations (EDO) division includes the department director's office as well as bureaus that serve other divisions in the department or provide administrative support such as Fiscal Operations, Legal Affairs (including the Office of Public Guardian), and the Office of Licensing. EDO also includes the Utah Developmental Disabilities Council, a program that operates independently of the department, but for which the department provides administrative support.

Statutory Authority

The following laws govern the operations of the offices found within the Executive Director Operations:

  • UCA 62A-1-108 describes the appointment, qualifications, and responsibilities of the Executive Director.
  • UCA 62A-1-110 defines the authority of the Executive Director over division and office directors.
  • UCA 62A-2 sets up the process for licensing human service programs and facilities.
  • UCA 62A-14 creates the Office of Public Guardian.

Intent Language

The Legislature intends that the Department of Health, in conjunction with the Department of Workforce Services and the Department of Human Services, use part of their appropriations to pursue obtaining CHIPRA Performance Bonuses if the Department of Health determines that it would be in the best financial interest of the state.

The Legislature intends that the Departments of Health and Human Services conduct a study to identify one or more Medicaid home and community based waivers that could be expanded to save money or be cost neutral. The Departments shall submit their detailed proposals by September 1, 2012 to the Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst.

The Legislature intends the Department of Health, the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation and the Utah State Office of Education (Special Education) use funds previously transferred to support the UDDC information and referral phone/website to instead provide direct client services to individuals with disabilities. The Legislature further intends the Utah Developmental Disability Council (UDDC), as a federally-established and federally-governed agency, use its federal funds to support its information and referral phone/website.

The Legislature intends the Department of Health, the Utah State Office of Rehabilitation and the Utah State Office of Education (Special Education) use funds previously transferred to support the Access Utah program to instead contract with a private human services directory database entity to provide a free information and referral service statewide for individuals with disabilities.

The Legislature intends the Department of Human Services report back during the 2013 General Session its progress regarding the following items found in the document titled Human Services - Follow Up on In-depth Budget Review affecting the departments Fiscal Year 2013 appropriated budget as reported to the Social Services Appropriations Subcommittee on January 25, 2012: item numbers 1, 2, 4, 6, 7,8, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of the Selected Major Recommendations and numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 14 of the remaining recommendations.

Program: Legal Affairs

Function

The Legal Affairs Program consists of the following offices:

The Office of Legal Affairs handles the cost of the Attorney General services in the department. Currently there are two full time attorneys dedicated to department issues whose personnel costs are budgeted in the Office of the Attorney General and billed to DHS.

Administrative Hearings conducts hearings required by state and federal law where persons may appeal decisions of administrative agencies in the department. Among the programs served are child abuse or neglect findings, child support enforcement, foster parent due process and licensing, and disciplinary proceedings by the Division of Juvenile Justice Services.

The Office of Public Guardian was created by the 1999 Legislature (UCA 62A-14). It provides guardianship and conservator services to legally incapacitated adults who have no willing and responsible family or friends to serve as guardians or conservators. The primary tasks of the office are to prepare documentation, evaluate, and assist the court process in establishing these functions for its clients. Office staff acts as case managers by organizing residential accommodations, overseeing health care needs, and managing the finances and real personal property of wards. As resources are limited, services are focused on incapacitated adults who are in life-threatening situations and adults who are being abused, neglected, or exploited. The office is also responsible to educate the public of its role and in general about guardians and conservators.

Function

The Office of Services Review has the following primary functions:

The Office of Services Review (OSR) coordinates and monitors the department's efforts to comply with state and federal regulations, court rulings, and policies.

The review includes quality control and compliance reviews of child protective services programs and foster care cases. OSR conducts program reviews in other divisions within the department as directed by the department director. OSR also performs fatality reviews regarding deaths of individuals in the care and/or custody of various agencies within the department.

Office of Child Protection Ombudsman (OCPO) was created by the department in 1996 to investigate complaints filed against the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and to make recommendations regarding the findings of those investigations. OCPO determines whether an act or omission of DCFS with respect to a child: 1) places a child's health or safety at risk, 2) has adequate documentation to support the removal or placement of the child, or 3) is contrary to statute, rule, or policy. The office was codified in statute during the 1998 General Session of the Legislature and this language can be found at 62A-4a-208.

Program: Utah Developmental Disabilities Council

Function

Utah has decided to participate in the federal Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (Public Law 106 -- 402). This federal law provides grant funds for innovative pilot service programs for people with disabilities. It also requires every participating state to have a council to serve as a coordinating, advocacy, and long range planning body for people with disabilities. The Utah Developmental Disabilities Council, currently established by a Governor's executive order, advocates for the collective needs of people with disabilities in Utah and works to facilitate system changes and increased system capacity. It awards and monitors federal grants issued under the above-mentioned federal act and then evaluates the effectiveness of those grants.

The council has administered the Access Utah Network program. Beginning July 1, 2012, this information and referral program was contracted to a private human services directory database entity in compliance with legislative intent language.

Funding Detail

The council is primarily a federally funded agency.

Program: Foster Care Citizen Review Board

Function

The Foster Care Citizen Review Board (FCCRB) was started as a pilot project in 1993 to evaluate an alternative method of reviewing foster care cases. The Legislature established the FCCRB as a statewide, independent agency in 1997 to help comply with federal statute (42 U.S.C. 675(5) (B)). The statute requires the status of all children in foster care be reviewed at least every six months. Prior to the establishment of the FCCRB system, these reviews were either accomplished through an administrative review process in the Division of Child and Family Services or by the courts themselves. The courts also perform reviews -- mostly during the first year a child is in custody. This program was eliminated during the 2008 Second Special Session of the Legislature.

Funding Detail

During the 2008 Second Special Session of the Legislature, the Foster Care Citizen Review Board was eliminated to help balance the state budget.
