Information About the Maryland Register and COMAR

MARYLAND REGISTER

The Maryland Register is an official State publication published

every other week throughout the year. A cumulative index is

published quarterly.

The Maryland Register is the temporary supplement to the Code of

Maryland Regulations. Any change to the text of regulations

published in COMAR, whether by adoption, amendment, repeal, or

emergency action, must first be published in the Register.

The following information is also published regularly in the

Register:

• Governor’s Executive Orders

• Attorney General’s Opinions in full text

• Open Meetings Compliance Board Opinions in full text

• State Ethics Commission Opinions in full text

• Court Rules

• District Court Administrative Memoranda

• Courts of Appeal Hearing Calendars

• Agency Hearing and Meeting Notices

• Synopses of Bills Introduced and Enacted by the General

Assembly

• Other documents considered to be in the public interest

CITATION TO THE MARYLAND REGISTER

The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and

date. Example:

• 19:8 Md. R. 815—817 (April 17, 1992) refers to Volume 19, Issue

8, pages 815—817 of the Maryland Register issued on April 17,

1992.

CODE OF MARYLAND REGULATIONS (COMAR)

COMAR is the official compilation of all regulations issued by

agencies of the State of Maryland. The Maryland Register is

COMAR’s temporary supplement, printing all changes to regulations

as soon as they occur. At least once annually, the changes to

regulations printed in the Maryland Register are incorporated into

COMAR by means of permanent supplements.

CITATION TO COMAR REGULATIONS

COMAR regulations are cited by title number, subtitle number,

chapter number, and regulation number. Example: COMAR

10.08.01.03 refers to Title 10, Subtitle 08, Chapter 01, Regulation 03.

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Incorporation by reference is a legal device by which a document is

made part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While the text of an

incorporated document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of

the incorporated document are as fully enforceable as any other

COMAR regulation. Each regulation that proposes to incorporate a

document is identified in the Maryland Register by an Editor’s Note.

The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended

or Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation

incorporating a document. Documents incorporated by reference are

available for inspection in various depository libraries located

throughout the State and at the Division of State Documents. These

depositories are listed in the first issue of the Maryland Register

published each year. For further information, call 410-974-2486.

HOW TO RESEARCH REGULATIONS

An Administrative History at the end of every COMAR chapter gives

information about past changes to regulations. To determine if there have

been any subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR

Regulations Adopted, Amended, or Repealed’’ which is found online at

http://www.dsd.state.md.us/PDF/CumulativeTable.pdf. This table lists the

regulations in numerical order, by their COMAR number, followed by the

citation to the Maryland Register in which the change occurred. The

Maryland Register serves as a temporary supplement to COMAR, and the

two publications must always be used together. A Research Guide for

Maryland Regulations is available. For further information, call 410-260-

3876.

SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION

For subscription forms for the Maryland Register and COMAR, see

the back pages of the Maryland Register. Single issues of the

Maryland Register are $15.00 per issue.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION IN

THE REGULATION-MAKING PROCESS

Maryland citizens and other interested persons may participate in

the process by which administrative regulations are adopted,

amended, or repealed, and may also initiate the process by which the

validity and applicability of regulations is determined. Listed below

are some of the ways in which citizens may participate (references

are to State Government Article (SG),

Annotated Code of Maryland):

• By submitting data or views on proposed regulations either orally

or in writing, to the proposing agency (see ‘‘Opportunity for Public

Comment’’ at the beginning of all regulations appearing in the

Proposed Action on Regulations section of the Maryland Register).

(See SG, §10-112)

• By petitioning an agency to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations.

The agency must respond to the petition. (See SG §10-123)

• By petitioning an agency to issue a declaratory ruling with respect

to how any regulation, order, or statute enforced by the agency

applies. (SG, Title 10, Subtitle 3)

• By petitioning the circuit court for a declaratory judgment

on the validity of a regulation when it appears that the regulation

interferes with or impairs the legal rights or privileges of the

petitioner. (SG, §10-125)

• By inspecting a certified copy of any document filed with the

Division of State Documents for publication in the Maryland

Register. (See SG, §7-213)

Attorney General’s Certification

In accordance with State Government Article, §10-113, Annotated

Code of Maryland, the Attorney General certifies that the following

changes do not differ substantively from the proposed text. The

nature of the changes and the basis for this conclusion are as follows:

Regulation .04U: In response to comments received, language has

been added to clarify that it is the responsibility of the provider, when

terminating services, to assist with discharge planning. Because the

language clarifies existing policy without establishing a new

requirement for provider participation, there is no impact on

participants or providers.

.04 Conditions for Participation — General.

To provide Autism Waiver services, the provider:

A.—T. (proposed text unchanged)

U. [[Shall]] Unless a risk to health and safety exists, shall agree

not to terminate services for a participant without providing:

(1) 30 days written notice to the participant, parent or

guardian, and service coordinator [[unless a risk to health and safety

exists]]; and

(2) Assistance in the discharge planning process;

action, which was proposed for adoption in 42:26 Md. R. 1626—

1630 (December 28, 2015), has been adopted with the nonsubstantive

changes shown below.







Regulation .04A(1): Language relating to eligibility was clarified

in response to comments received. The language will ensure

consistency with existing federal criteria; therefore, there is no impact

on participants or providers as the language change is a clarification

and does not represent any change to eligibility.

Regulation .04A(2): Incorrect citations are being removed to

correct the reference error and to ensure consistency with current

standards.

Regulation .20C(2): In response to comments, the reference to the

nursing standards of practice will be struck, so as to clarify that this

regulation does not change or interpret the regulations cited. Nursing

standards of practice must be upheld by all nurses and to cite the

regulations is redundant and unnecessary.

.04 Participant Eligibility.

A. To participate in the Program, a participant shall:

(1) Be determined by the Department to need the level of care

provided in a hospital, nursing facility, [[or]] an intermediate care

facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities, an institution

[16-042-F-I]

On March 17, 2016, the Maryland Health Care Commission

adopted new Regulation .01 under a new chapter, COMAR 10.24.16

State Health Plan for Facilities and Services: Home Health

Agency Services. This action was considered by the Maryland

Health Care Commission at an open meeting on March 17, 2016,

notice of which was given through publication in the Maryland

Register, under General Provisions Article, §3-302(c), Annotated

Code of Maryland. This action, which was proposed for adoption in

43:2 Md. R. 204—206 (January 22, 2016), has been adopted with the

nonsubstantive changes shown below.







On page 21 of the IBR (incorporated by reference) document,

Section .06C describes qualifications each applicant must meet in

order for its application for a Certificate of Need to be accepted.

Clarifying language has been added to Subsection .06C(3) so that the

term “adverse citation” is consistent with Subsection .06C(5), which

evidences the Commission’s concern with “serious” complaints and

adverse citations, rather than with any unfavorable but relatively

minor citation or finding. Without this change, the Commission

would not be able to accomplish the chapter’s goal of receiving

applications by high quality HHAs and other health care facilities and

providers to expand or establish HHA services in new jurisdictions.

A nonsubstantive change in Subsection .06C(3) clarifies that “as

applicable” refers to sources of adverse or unfavorable survey

citations regarding the type of applicant, which may (depending on

the type of applicant) contain survey citations or complaint

investigations findings from both a state agency and from an

accreditation organization.

Section .06C(9) is clarified by reordering the clause “within the

last ten years” and to change plural of “owners” to singular “owner,”

consistent with the remaining language in .06C(9).
