Section 26-1-5 grants the Department of Health the power to adopt, amend, or rescind rules that shall have the force and effect of law, and Section 26-18-3 requires the Department to implement the Medicaid program through administrative rules. In addition, this rule is authorized under Title 26, Chapter 18a, which lists criteria for children's organ transplants and outlines the responsibilities of the Kurt Oscarson Children's Organ Transplant Coordinating Committee.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The Department did not receive any written or oral comments regarding this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
