A county agency or contracted entity aggrieved by a department determination made under section 1403-B(b)(6), (6.1) or (6.2) or a disapproval of a plan under section 1403-B(b)(7) may file a request for a review with the department's Bureau of Hearings and Appeals, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction in such matters. The procedures and requirements of 2 Pa.C.S. Ch. 5 Subch. A (relating to practice and procedure of Commonwealth agencies) and 1 Pa. Code Pt.

(1408-B amended Nov. 4, 2016, P.L.1172, No.153)
Compiler's Note: Section 1408-B was added by Act 80 of 2012. Act 80 of 2012 was declared unconstitutional on July 18, 2018, by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in Washington v. Commonwealth, Department of Public Welfare, 188 A.3d 1135 (Pa. 2018). In footnote 20 of its decision, the Supreme Court determined that Article XIV-B had been reenacted by Act 153 of 2016 and that its decision did not affect the validity of that reenactment.
