(1) (a) The commissioner may adopt "commissioner rules" for behavioral health programs administered and services provided by the BHA as listed in section 27-50-105 (1). The rules must be promulgated in accordance with section 24-4-103.
(b) Any rules adopted by the executive director of the department of human services prior to July 1, 2022, to implement the behavioral health programs to be administered and services to be provided by the BHA listed in section 27-50-105 (1), and whose content meets the definition of "executive director rules" pursuant to section 26-1-108, are effective until revised, amended, or repealed by the commissioner.
(2) "Commissioner rules" are solely within the province of the commissioner, except those determinations precluded by authority granted to the state board of human services. "Commissioner rules" must include:
(a) Matters of internal administration in the BHA, including organization, staffing, records, reports, systems, and procedures;
(b) Fiscal and personnel administration for the BHA; and
(c) Accounting and fiscal reporting rules for disbursement of federal funds, contingency funds, and proration of available appropriations.
(3) Whenever a statutory grant of rule-making authority in this title 27 refers to the BHA, it means the behavioral health administration acting through either the state board of human services, the commissioner, or both. When exercising rule-making authority pursuant to this title 27, the BHA shall promulgate rules consistent with the powers and the distinction between "board rules" as set forth in section 26-1-107 and "commissioner rules" as set forth in this section.
(4) The rules promulgated by the commissioner pertaining to this title 27 are binding upon the behavioral health providers, vendors, and agents of the BHA. At any public hearing relating to a proposed rule, interested persons have the right to present the person's data, views, or arguments orally. Proposed rules of the commissioner are subject to section 24-4-103.
