SB 6428-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

Provides that, when a provider files with the board an appeal from an order terminating the provider's authority to provide services related to the treatment of industrially injured workers, the department may petition the board for an order immediately suspending the provider's eligibility to participate as a provider of services to industrially injured workers under Title 51 RCW pending the final disposition of the appeal by the board.

Provides that the board shall grant the petition if it determines that there is good cause to believe that workers covered under this title may suffer serious physical or mental harm if the petition is not granted. The board shall expedite the hearing of the department's petition under this act.
