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, Section 26-18-3 requires the Department to administer the Medicaid program, and 42 CFR 440.70 authorizes licensed personnel to provide home health services.

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

No written or oral comments have been received 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:

This rule is necessary because it implements the provision of personal care services for Medicaid clients. It also allows licensed registered nurses and personal care aides to provide these services regularly, to maintain the comfort and dignity of homebound clients. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
