The statute that DMAS cites to as authority for these emergency regulations was enacted on June 11, 2012. The relevant part of the statute reads: “DMAS shall promulgate regulations to implement these changes within 280 days or less from the enactment date of this Act.”
Despite this, these emergency regulations were not submitted to the Attorney Genera'sl(AG) office for AG review until 8/14/13 and the Governor did not approve of them until 10/10/13. Therefore, these regulations were not properly submitted as emergency regulations. They were not submitted timely. Theyshouldt be withdrawn.
