Certification of Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Rules
Pursuant to GS 150B-21.3A, Periodic Review and Expiration of Existing Rules, all rules are reviewed at least every 10 years or they shall expire. As a result of the periodic review of Subchapter 10A NCAC 14F, Certification of Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs, six rules were determined as "Necessary With Substantive Public Interest," thus requiring readoption. With input from stakeholders, substantive changes have been made to five of these rules (Rule .1203, .1301, .1802, .1903, and .2101) to provide clarity, remove ambiguity, and implement technical changes in the areas of annual certificate renewal, staff responsibilities and requirements, criteria for exercise therapy programs, exercise drills and documentation and standards for cleaning facilities, equipment and furnishings. References to General Statutes have been added in the rules where appropriate. In addition, Rule .1401 is proposed for amendment to update which State office's telephone number is provided to patients by the program for lodging complaints. These proposed rule revisions reflect current industry standards of practice.

- Procedure for subjecting a proposed rule to Legislative Review: If an objection is not resolved prior to the adoption of the rule, a person may also submit written objections to the Rules Review Commission. If the Rules Review Commission receives written and signed objections in accordance with G.S. 150B-21.3(b2) from 10 or more persons clearly requesting review by the legislature and the Rules Review Commission approves the rule, the rule will become effective as provided in G.S. 150B-21.3(b1). The Commission will receive written objections until 5:00 p.m. on the day following the day the Commission approves the rule. The Commission will receive those objections by mail, delivery service, hand delivery, or facsimile transmission.
