BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
TO: All Concerned Persons
1. On December 26, 2013, the Department of Justice published MAR Notice No. 23-12-237 pertaining to the proposed amendment of the above-stated rules at page 2371 of the 2013 Montana Administrative Register, Issue Number 24.
2. The department has amended the above-stated rules as proposed.
3. The department has thoroughly considered the comments and testimony received. A summary of the comments received and the department's response are as follows:
COMMENT #1: The Montana Academy of Physician Assistants expressed support for the amended rules and noted the rules incorrectly refer to "Physician's Assistant(s)," when the correct term is "Physician Assistant(s)."
RESPONSE #1: The department appreciates the comment and acknowledges the error. The incorrect term was used in the rationale and not in the rule itself, and thus, the error will not appear in the adopted rules.
