    State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

    This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    There is no impact to the state budget because this amendment simply removes language from the text and places it in another administrative rule.

    local governments:

    There is no impact to local governments because they do not fund or provide speech-language services to Medicaid recipients.

    small businesses:

    There is no impact to small businesses because this amendment simply removes language from the text and places it in another administrative rule.

    persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

    There is no impact to Medicaid recipients and to Medicaid providers because this amendment simply removes language from the text and places it in another administrative rule.

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    There are no compliance costs to a single Medicaid recipient or to a Medicaid provider because this amendment simply removes language from the text and places it in another administrative rule.

    Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

    Moving the incorporation references from this rule into Section R414-1-5 will make compliance simpler for providers and have no fiscal impact.
