IC 15-17-3-11. The BOAH is authorized to adopt rules under IC 4-22 that are reasonable and necessary to discharge these duties. The rules to be readopted implement both IC 15-17 and IC 15-18. A full review was conducted for each rule to be readopted to consider the continued need for the rule. This review resulted in a finding that each rule to be adopted met the standards in IC 4-22-2-19.5 and (if applicable) the requirements for fees, fines, and civil penalties in IC 4-22-2-19.6. The agency reexamined previous cost benefit, economic impact, and fiscal impact statements prepared by the agency for the rule under IC 4-22-2-28 and IC 4-22-2.1-5. This review resulted in a finding that there has not been any change in circumstances that affect the analysis. The BOAH evaluated alternative methods of achieving the purpose of each rule to be readopted and the additional factors that are required to be considered in the review pursuant to IC 4-22-2.6-4(b).
