1Opinion of the CourtMallett, J.
In this case, we must determine whether the guidelines and standard contract utilized by the Department of Mental Health when contracting with group home providers for the purchase of specialized residential mental health services constitute administrative “rules” that must be promulgated pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act, MCL 24.201 et seq.-, MSA 3.560(101) et seq. We hold that to the extent that they set forth departmental policy and *4standards concerning the care received by individuals in group homes, they constitute “rules” for purposes of the apa.
