PERMANENT RULES
SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(Health and Recovery Services Administration)
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: This is a CORRECTED FILING to fix a textual error in the CR-103 filed as WSR 08-19-099. The department inadvertently proposed corrections to WAC 388-505-0220 under two different actions simultaneously. We proposed cross reference corrections under a CR-105 filed as WSR 08-13-044 which was made permanent by a CR-103 filed as WSR 08-19-099. At the same time we proposed an amendment to WAC 388-505-0220 (3)(d) change "ninety" days to "one hundred eighty" days under a CR-102 filed as WSR 08-11-087 which was made permanent by a CR-103 filed as WSR 08-14-105. This CR-103 filing corrects the CR-103 filed as WSR 08-19-099 to accurately reflect both changes.
