3.11    (b) A county agency may enter into a group residential housing agreement for beds
3.12with rates in excess of the MSA equivalent rate in addition to those currently covered
3.13under a group residential housing agreement if the additional beds are only a replacement
3.14of beds with rates in excess of the MSA equivalent rate which have been made available
3.15due to closure of a setting, a change of licensure or certification which removes the beds
3.16from group residential housing payment, or as a result of the downsizing of a group
