TITLE 405 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF FAMILY AND SOCIAL SERVICES

One Year Requirement (IC 4-22-2-25) LSA Document #15-372

June 21, 2016

RE: LSA Document #15-372 – Proposed rule adds 405 IAC 1-8-5 and 405 IAC 1-10.5-7 to implement an assessment fee on certain hospitals and change the reimbursement methodology.

On behalf of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, I am submitting this notice to the Publisher of the Indiana Register in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, which requires that a notice be sent to the Publisher if a rule will not be approved or deemed approved by the Governor within one year of publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. This notice is to be submitted to the Publisher before the two hundred fiftieth day following the publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule was published in the Indiana Register on October 28, 2015 (DIN: 20151028-IR-405150372NIA).

The public hearing on the Proposed Rule has been scheduled for July 25, 2016. Following the public hearing, the agency must consider and respond to public comments and present the rule to the Secretary for final adoption. Thereafter, the Office of the Attorney General has 45 days to complete a review of the rule and supporting documentation, after which the Governor has 30 days to complete his review. As such, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration may be unable to complete the rulemaking process by October 28, 2016. Approval or deemed approval by the Governor is expected not later than October 28, 2017.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval or deemed approval of LSA Document #15-372 is being submitted in a timely manner. July 4, 2016, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.
