TITLE 410 INDIANA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Economic Impact Statement
LSA Document #18-158
IC 4-22-2.1-5 Statement Concerning Rules Affecting Small Businesses
1. Estimate of the number of small businesses, classified by industry sector, that will be subject to the proposed rule.
IC 5-28-2-6 defines a small business as a business entity that satisfies the following requirements:
(1) On at least fifty percent (50%) of the working days of the business entity occurring during the proceeding calendar year, the business entity employed not more than one hundred fifty (150) employees.
(2) The majority of the employees of the business entity work in Indiana.
There are approximately five certified midwifery/home birth centers that are subject to the rule. The 89 Indiana hospitals that deliver babies, which are subject to this rule, do not meet the definition of a small business.
2. Estimate of the average annual reporting, record keeping, and other administrative costs that small businesses will incur to comply with the proposed rule.
The only change to the process the rule amendments will make is to shorten the amount of time health care providers have to collect the newborn screening specimen. This change should not make much difference in how small businesses will comply with newborn screening requirements. All other changes will not have an impact on any reporting, record keeping or other administrative costs for small businesses.
3. Estimate of the total annual economic impact that compliance with the proposed rule will have on all small businesses subject to the rule.
Five certified midwifery birth centers are the only "small businesses" subject to the rule. The change to the process will create no more than a negligible economic impact to small businesses.
4. Statement justifying any requirement or cost that is imposed on small businesses by the rule; and not expressly required by the statute authorizing the agency to adopt the rule; or any other state or federal law.
No costs are imposed on small businesses by the rule.
5. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
No regulatory flexibility analysis is necessary because no costs are imposed on small businesses.
