NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

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. In addition, 42 CFR Part 456 requires the evaluation of each resident's need for admission.

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 of Human Services commented that the rule needed to be amended to clarify requirements. The Department of Health has addressed this concern with several amendments to the rule over the past five years.

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

This rule is necessary because it outlines provisions for preadmission screening and annual resident review. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
