The Texas Health and Human Services Commission adopts an
amendment to §351.3 concerning the purpose, task, and duration of advisory
committees. Section 62.057, Health and Safety Code, establishes regional advisory
committees to advise the Health and Human Services Commission on the implementation
and operation of the children's health insurance program (CHIP). This amendment
is adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the December
3, 1999,
Texas Register
(24 TexReg 10635).
The justification for this rule is that the amendment sets out the purpose,
tasks, and functions of the CHIP regional advisory committees in accordance
with §62.057, Health and Safety Code, and Chapter 2110, Government Code,
concerning advisory committees.
No comments were received on the proposed amendment.
The amendment is adopted under the Texas Government Code, §531.033,
which provides the commissioner of HHSC with broad rulemaking authority and
under Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 62, §62.051(d), which authorizes
the commissioner to adopt rules necessary to implement the child health plan
for certain low-income children.
The amendment implements Health and Safety Code, §62.057.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
