This new rule promulgates regulations that establish standards for assuring quality of care delivered by commercial health maintenance organizations. The Department of Human Services has been given the statutory authority to provide quality oversight for commercial HMO's, and this proposed rule is required to implement that authority. The Department is proposing minor revisions to Chapter 424, the Lead Management Regulations. The Lead Management Regulations apply to lead inspection and abatement related work in residential dwellings and child-occupied facilities. The proposed revisions are intended to clarify certain requirements of this rule.
Terminology is also updated.
