WSR 16-23-069 WITHDRAWAL OFPREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH [Filed November 15, 2016, 10:05 a.m.] The department of health (department) is withdrawing the preproposal notice (CR-101) considering amendments to WAC 246-827-0400, which was filed January 4, 2016, and published in WSR 16-02-070.
The department is withdrawing this CR-101 that was filed to consider rule making to create a specific training route for law enforcement personnel to qualify for the medical assistant-phlebotomist credential to obtain forensic blood draws. Following several stakeholder meetings, it has been determined that there may be insufficient statutory authority under chapter 18.360 RCW to develop alternative training requirements for one credential with one set scope of practice. The rule making was initiated as a result of a rules petition; the petitioner has been notified of the withdrawal.
Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Brett Cain, medical assistant program manager, (360) 236-4766, or brett.cain@doh.wa.gov. Tami M. Thompson Regulatory Affairs Manager |
