Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of this coordinated rule making is to move children's administration background check requirements from chapter 388-06 WAC, WAC 388-06-0010 through 388-06-0260, to chapter 388-06A WAC. Under a separate CR-102, children's administration will create chapter 388-06A WAC and permanently adopt children's administration background check rules.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This rule making is intended to resolve confusion and misapplication of program-specific background check requirements that exist because children's administration programmatic background check requirements are contained in the rule chapter for department-wide background check requirements.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 43.43.832.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 74.15.030, 43.43.832, 43.43.837.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of social and health services, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Cindy LaRose-Eatwell, FSA, Background Check Central Unit, (360) 902-8072; Implementation and Enforcement: Chris Parvin, Children's Administration, (360) 902-0770.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. These rule revisions are part of a coordinated rule making with children's administration. These revisions remove children's administration background check requirements from chapter 388-06 WAC, WAC 388-06-0020 through 388-06-0260. Under a separate CR-102, children's administration will move their program-specific background check requirements to chapter 388-06A WAC. Children's administration has determined that the rules are adopted without material change and are consistent with RCW 43.43.832. If the rule is not adopted, it would be out of compliance with state law. There is no cost to small businesses.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. These rule revisions are part of a coordinated rule making with children's administration. These revisions remove children's administration background check requirements from chapter 388-06 WAC, WAC 388-06-0020 through 388-06-0260. Under a separate CR-102, children's administration will move their program-specific background check requirements to chapter 388-06A WAC. Children's administration has determined a cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(iii). Rules are adopted by reference without material change to ensure the WAC is consistent with RCW 43.43.832. The rule content is dictated by statute.
