to §19.2322 without changes to the proposed text published in the April

The amendment is adopted under the Human Resources Code, Title
2, Chapters 22 and 32, which authorizes the department to administer public
and medical assistance programs and under Texas Government Code §531.021,

to administer federal medical assistance funds.
