A. Suggested Guideline For Ascertaining Economic Lives of Business and Industrial Personal Property. The following alphabetical list includes most of the principal activities and types of machinery and equipment used in business throughout this state. The years shown represent an estimate of the average economic life of the equipment as experienced by the particular business or industry. The actual economic life of the assets of the business under appraisal may be more or less than the guidelines shown. The assessor must use his best judgment in consultation with the property owner in establishing the economic life of the property under appraisal.

DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY
Department of Health and Hospitals
Bureau of Health Services Financing
and
Office of Aging and Adult Services
All Inclusive Care for the Elderly
Reimbursement Rate Reduction
(LAC 50:XXIII.1301)
The Department of Health and Hospitals, Bureau of Health Services Financing and the Office of Aging and Adult Services amend LAC 50:XXIII.1301 in the Medical Assistance Program as authorized by R.S. 36:254 and pursuant to Title XIX of the Social Security Act and as directed by Act 11 of the 2010 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature which states: “The secretary is directed to utilize various cost containment measures to ensure expenditures in the Medicaid Program do not exceed the level appropriated in this Schedule, including but not limited to precertification, preadmission screening, diversion, fraud control, utilization review and management, prior authorization, service limitations, drug therapy management, disease management, cost sharing, and other measures as permitted under federal law.” This Emergency Rule is promulgated in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, R.S. 49:953(B)(1) et seq., and shall be in effect for the maximum period allowed under the Act or until adoption of the final Rule, whichever occurs first.
The Department of Health and Hospitals, Office of the Secretary, Bureau of Health Services Financing amended the provisions governing the Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to: 1) remove the requirement that eligibility decisions be approved by the state administering agency; 2) revise PACE disenrollment criteria; 3) allow for service area specific rates instead of one statewide rate; and 4) clarify when the obligation for patient liability begins (Louisiana Register, Volume 33, Number 5).
As a result of a budgetary shortfall in state fiscal year 2011, the Department of Health and Hospitals, Bureau of Health Services Financing and the Office of Aging and Adult Services promulgated an Emergency Rule which amended the provisions governing the reimbursement methodology for a PACE organization to reduce the reimbursement rates (Louisiana Register, Volume 36, Number 8). Due to a continuing budgetary shortfall in state fiscal year 2011, the department has determined that it is necessary to amend the provisions governing the reimbursement methodology for PACE organizations to further reduce the reimbursement rates. This action is being taken to avoid a budget deficit in the medical assistance programs. It is estimated that implementation of this Emergency Rule will reduce expenditures in the Medicaid Program by approximately $171,289 for state fiscal year 2010-2011.
Effective December 1, 2010, the Department of Health and Hospitals, Bureau of Health Services Financing and the Office of Aging and Adult Services amend the provisions governing the reimbursement methodology for the Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly to reduce the reimbursement rates.
