RE: LSA Document #22-142, Funeral and Cemetery Expenses Rule

On behalf of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), I am submitting this notice to the Publisher of the Indiana Register in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, which requires that a notice be sent to the Publisher if a rule will not be approved or deemed approved by the Governor within one year of publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. This notice is to be submitted to the Publisher before the two hundred fiftieth day following the publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule was published in the Indiana Register on April 20, 2022 (DIN: 20220420-IR-470220142NIA).

This rulemaking has been delayed due to staffing changes. As such, the FSSA may be unable to complete the rulemaking process by April 20, 2023. Approval or deemed approval by the Governor is expected not later than April 20, 2024.

This notice setting forth the expected date of approval or deemed approval of LSA Document #22-142 is being submitted in a timely manner. December 26, 2022, is the two hundred fiftieth day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.
