| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The proposed rule changes are necessary to allow for a person’s existing communications technology to be accessible through amplification or notification tools. Also, updates to the language and definitions are essential to keep up with ever-changing technology and elimination of some application requirements to eliminate consumer burden. The following rule changes are: (1) updating the name of the program from Telecommunications Equipment Distribution Program (TEDP) to its current name, Communications Technology Program (CTP); (2) eliminating requirements of the application to make it less burdensome for the consumer; (3) updating the definitions of terms such as “equipment” and “accessory” to allow the program to provide devices/applications/tools that allow a consumer’s current technology to be accessible; and (4) raising the income limit as technology is increasing in cost and becoming not affordable to those who surpass the current income threshold. |

| Comments |
CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet. The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. Please visit CDHS State Board website for meeting dates.
