Rule Transfer
Pursuant to Texas Health and Safety Code Section §314A.004, the Governor of Texas designates the state agency responsible for reviewing applications for certificates of public advantage and supervising the activities for which those certificates are issued. On August 14, 2024, the Governor replaced the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) as the designated agency with the Office of Public Insurance Counsel (OPIC). Therefore, the HHSC rules in Texas Administrative Code, Title 26, Part 1, Chapter 567, Certificate of Public Advantage are being transferred to OPIC in Texas Administrative Code, Title 28, Part 7, Chapter 280, Certificate of Public Advantage.
The rules will be transferred in the Texas Administrative Code effective May 1, 2025.
The following table outlines the rule transfer:
