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. Section 26-18-3 requires the Department to implement the Medicaid program through administrative rules. In addition, 42 CFR 409.17 authorizes the Department to provide speech-language pathology services to Medicaid clients who qualify for the services.

The Department did not receive any written or oral comments.

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