DHSS established ten advisory committees - one for each of the application scoring criteria established by the Missouri Constitution – and reviewed application scoring questions that were drafted by the Department.
The review process was as follows:
- Public feedback regarding the drafted questions was provided through the online suggestion form until a few days prior to each committee meeting.
- DHSS made revisions based on public comments and provided public comments and revised questions to advisory committee members.
- Each advisory committee met and discussed the draft questions, suggested modifications and made recommendations to DHSS. Further, based on the committee’s recommended questions, the committee recommended weights for each question within the committee’s purview. Public comments were not allowed during committee meetings.
- DHSS reviewed the recommendations and finalized the questions and weights, which were incorporated into the final rules on June 4, per Article XIV of the Constitution.
Topic and individual question weights were released following the conclusion of the advisory committee process.
