The Board of Directors has approved the retirement of ten policies from the Prevention Division's Policy and Procedure Manual. The policies contain outdated information and/or have been superseded by policy, guidelines or subsequent statutory changes, and therefore, are unnecessary or inaccurate.

The retirement of these policies follows a direction of the former Panel of Administrators to consolidate and/or retire prevention policy into the Prevention Manual, in order to eliminate multiple sources of prevention policy and to decrease confusion and complexity in the system. To date, 222 policies from the Policy and Procedure Manual have been retired and/or consolidated (including the above-mentioned ten policies), and 51 remain to be considered.
