State of Washington 52nd Legislature 1991 Regular Session
By Representatives Appelwick and Leonard.
Read first time January 31, 1991. Referred to Committee on Human Services.
AN ACT Relating to licensing of day care centers; and amending RCW 74.15.100.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. RCW 74.15.100 and 1982 c 118 s 11 are each amended to read as follows:
Each agency shall make application for a license or renewal of license to the department of social and health services on forms prescribed by the department. A licensed agency having foster-family homes under its supervision may make application for a license on behalf of any such foster-family home. Upon receipt of such application, the department shall either grant or deny a license within ninety days unless the application is for licensure as a foster-family home, in which case RCW 74.15.040 shall govern. A license shall be granted if the agency meets the minimum requirements set forth in chapter 74.15 RCW and RCW 74.13.031 and the departmental requirements consistent herewith, except that a provisional license may be issued as provided in RCW 74.15.120. In addition, a day care center must have a uniform business identifier number before a license is granted by the department. Licenses provided for in chapter 74.15 RCW and RCW 74.13.031 shall be issued for a period of three years. The licensee, however, shall advise the secretary of any material change in circumstances which might constitute grounds for reclassification of license as to category.
