Title 1, Part 15
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) adopts the review of the chapter below in Title 1, Part 15, of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC):
Chapter 360, Medicaid Buy-In Program
Notice of the review of this chapter was published in the July 26, 2024, issue of the Texas Register (49 TexReg 5549). HHSC received no comments concerning this chapter.
HHSC has reviewed Chapter 360 in accordance with Texas Government Code §2001.039, which requires state agencies to assess, every four years, whether the initial reasons for adopting a rule continue to exist.
The agency determined that the original reasons for adopting all rules in the chapter continue to exist and readopts Chapter 360. Any amendments, if applicable, to Chapter 360 identified by HHSC in the rule review will be proposed in a future issue of the Texas Register.
This concludes HHSC's review of 1 TAC Chapter 360 as required by Texas Government Code §2001.039.
