Order On February 17, 2000, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this regulation from the Department of Public Welfare (Department). This rulemaking amends 55 Pa. Code Chapters 168 and 3040. The authority for this regulation is 62 P.S §§ 201--211, 401--493 and 701--703, and 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9858--9858q.
