This bill authorizes the Department of Health to promulgate multiple legislative rules covering a wide range of public health and medical topics, including public water systems, trauma and emergency care, vital statistics, emergency medical services, the Primary Care Support Program, and various aspects of the Medical Cannabis Program (such as rules for growers, processors, laboratories, and dispensaries). The bill also directs the Department of Health to amend a rule related to sewage treatment and collection system design standards. Additionally, it authorizes the Department of Human Services to establish rules for the Recovery Residence Certification and Accreditation Program and a pilot program for drug screening cash assistance applicants, while also directing them to amend their child placing agencies licensure rule. Finally, the bill authorizes the Office of Inspector General to create legislative rules for hospital and behavioral health center licensure, including specific amendments such as modifying transportation requirements for staff and clarifying insurance and vehicle documentation requirements.
