Committee: House Administrative Rules

Summary: The committee first advanced Senate Bill 1721, which extends the sunset date for the Oklahoma Advisory Council on Indian Education and requires appointed members to represent a tribe or be involved in tribal education. It then passed Senate Bill 1433, a mirror bill requiring agencies to publicly post guidance documents and state that such documents do not have the force of law. Both bills were adopted without opposition and reported out favorably. The bulk of the meeting focused on Senate Bill 1316, which would create a rotating, eight-year review of administrative rules modeled on Idaho law. Members questioned whether the process would duplicate existing rule review, whether it would be used as a rubber stamp or to remove needed protections, and how AI tools might assist. The sponsor said the goal is to verify statutory authority, identify obsolete or duplicative rules, and use a limited AI system built from Oklahoma constitutional, statutory, and code materials only as a research aid, not a decision-maker. The committee then passed the bill unanimously. The committee also advanced a series of sunset-extension bills for various boards and agencies, including oil and gas tax apportionments, the Board of Governors of Architects, Landscape Architects, and Licensed Interior Designers, the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence, the Construction Industries Board, the Oklahoma Abstractors Board, OETA, the Polygraph Examiners Board, the Board of Licensure for Professional Engineers and Surveyors, and the Advisory Committee on Midwifery. Most passed unanimously, though the Construction Industries Board bill passed 11-1, OETA passed 7-5, and the midwifery bill passed 10-2. The committee also approved H.J.R. 1088, which ratifies education agency rules, by an 11-1 vote. At the end, the chair outlined the committee’s remaining workload and said several bundled rule resolutions and a few major rules would be coming soon, including a large health-agency bundle. Members were asked to return rule assignments quickly so resolutions could be prepared before the end of session. The meeting adjourned after the chair said the next meeting would likely be brief and focused on one or two resolutions.

Summary: The committee reviewed a series of Arkansas Department of Human Services and Department of Health rules, with most items receiving no objection. DHS Medical Services presented a rule to restore continuous glucose monitors to Medicaid durable medical equipment and pharmacy benefits after addressing provider concerns, and another rule to allow hospitals to bill at a rehabilitation level of care when patients are receiving only rehab services in an acute-care setting, while also moving Medicaid utilization management review from day 4 to day 7 for most hospitals and day 10 for rehab hospitals. Members questioned whether the rehab rule could lead to children being sent out of state, but DHS said the intent was to keep patients in-state and reimburse appropriately; the rule was reviewed without objection. DHS also presented PACE program updates to align with federal requirements and Act 144, and a separate personal care manual rewrite that would replace the Arkansas Independent Assessment with a claims-based medical eligibility review by Optum, clarify hourly service flexibility, and comply with Acts 625 and 853; both were reviewed without objection. The committee then heard a Medicaid eligibility rule from DHS County Operations that excludes foster care/adoption subsidy income for certain eligibility groups, clarifies treatment of 529 accounts, tax refund interest, and independence accounts for workers with disabilities, and carries an estimated fiscal impact of $485,000 in year one and $586,000 in year two. Members asked about account limits and how the independence accounts work; DHS explained they must be established while the person is in the workers-with-disabilities category and can continue to be excluded in other Medicaid categories, with no cap on deposits. The committee also reviewed a permanent DHS mental health rule allowing general or medical-surgical hospitals to operate adolescent substance abuse units and bill Medicaid, following an emergency rule approved in June. DHS said the first such unit had opened at Unity in Searcy, with no other hospitals currently in the pipeline, and members discussed follow-up care, grant support, and the use of existing hospital infrastructure. Finally, the Department of Health presented an annual update to the controlled substances list, adding substances tied to Act 934 of 2025 on intoxicating hemp and other DEA/Arkansas concerns, with no public comments received. Health also proposed repealing the separate synthetic marijuana products rule because those substances are already covered by the controlled substances list. Both Health items were reviewed without objection, and the committee adjourned after completing its agenda.
