An excerpt from the public notices section of the January 31 issue of the Texas Register:
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), as required by House Bill 33, will engage in negotiated rulemaking to develop an implementation plan in the form of a rule (Acts 2013, 83rd Legislature, Regular Session, Chapter 218, 2013 Texas General Laws). This rule will establish an informal dispute resolution (IDR) process that provides for adjudication by an appropriate disinterested person of disputes relating to a statement of violations submitted by the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) under ยง32.021(d), Human Resources Code, or Chapter 247 Health and Safety Code to an assisted living facility.
