Texas Health and Human Services Commission
Rule Transfer

During the 84th Legislative Session, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 200, addressing the reorganization of health and human services delivery in Texas. As a result, some agencies were abolished and their functions transferred to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Texas Government Code, §531.0202(b), specified the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) be abolished September 1, 2017, after all its functions were transferred to HHSC in accordance with Texas Government Code, §531.0201 and §531.02011. Certain former DADS rules in Texas Administrative Code, Title 40, Part 1, Chapter 2, Local Authority Responsibilities, Subchapter F, Continuity of Services--State Facilities are being transferred to Texas Administrative Code, Title 26, Part 1, Chapter 904, Continuity of Services--State Facilities.

The rules will be transferred in the Texas Administrative Code effective September 1, 2023.

The following table outlines the rule transfer:
