WITHDRAWAL OF

PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

[Filed December 30, 2014, 10:39 a.m.]

The department of health (department) would like to withdraw the following preproposed rule making (CR-101):


WAC Number	WSR Number	Filing Date	Subject
246-834 WAC	14-15-102	July 18, 2014	Elements of care by midwives for the newborn.

The department is withdrawing this CR-101 for the following reason:

The original intent of the preproposal was to consider clarifying the elements of care by midwives to the newborn.

Chapter 246-834 WAC, which regulates midwives, is dated and has not had a major rewrite since the early 1990s. The department has filed a new CR-101 to implement 2SHB 1773 and to open the remaining sections of this chapter, not already open in other CR-101 filings, to streamline and modernize the language.

If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Weed, program manager, health professions and facilities, (360) 236-4883.
