Ch 2 Revised Draft Rule :: Ch 2 Revised Fact Sheet :: Comment on this Rule
Concise Summary:
Chapter 2 governs the processing of license applications, appeals of Commissioner license decisions to the Board, petitions and motions to modify, revoke or suspend licenses, petitions for corrective action orders, and other determinations on specific matters as described in the rule.
The purpose of this rulemaking proposal is to revise or establish new procedural requirements and improve the clarity and organization of the rule based on the Department's experience applying Chapter 2 across a wide range of programs, and to incorporate recent legislative changes to the Boards responsibilities and duties.
Proposed amendments to the existing Chapter 2 were posted to public comment in December 2023. Since the posting the Legislature has taken up bills requiring additional changes to Chapter 2 and the Department has made substantive changes to the draft. These changes require reposting the rule to an additional public comment period.
