Home Care Agencies 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 13J, The Licensing of Home Care Agencies, eight rules were determined as "Necessary With Substantive Public Interest," thus necessitating readoption. With input from stakeholders, substantial changes have been proposed to these rules to provide clarity and remove ambiguity, address objections from the Rules Review Commission identified in the history notes for five of the rules, and make technical changes and formatting changes. The proposed changes also include updates to the definitions to refer to North Carolina General Statutes definitions.

- 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.
