Re: Notification of noncompliance with 60-day requirement

Dear Senator Young:

Pursuant to IC 4-22-2-19(c), please consider this letter notification of the Sexual Assault Victim Advocate Standards and Certification Board (SAVASC Board) noncompliance with the 60-day provision of the IC 4-22-2-19. The SAVASC Board was initially created under the oversight of the Indiana Commission for Women and was authorized to adopt administrative rules under IC 4-23-25-11. The authorizing statute became effective on July 1, 2006, but the process of appointing the statutorily required types of individuals/professionals as Board Members caused the first official meeting of the Board to be delayed until January 31, 2007. Subsequent to the SAVASC Board completing its work on the proposed rules for the standards and procedures, the 2008 General Assembly transferred the oversight of the SAVASC Board from the Indiana Commission for Women to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute under IC 5-2-6-23, causing further delays in the SAVASC Board process of developing and approving the proposed administrative rules.

The SAVASC Board has completed its work on the proposed administrative rules for the voluntary certification of sexual assault victim advocates and is prepared to move forward with the rules adoption process. The official Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule was published by the Indiana Register on April 14, 2010.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the notification or if you require any additional information at [phone] or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Sharon Langlotz

Acting Chairperson and Board Manager
