PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
DEPARTMENT OF
SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(Aging and Long-Term Support Administration)
[Filed February 18, 2022, 10:33 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: The department is planning to repeal and amend sections of chapter 388-71 WAC, Home and community services and programs, and chapter 388-113 WAC, Disqualifying crimes and negative actions.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The department is planning to repeal and amend sections of chapters 388-71 and 388-113 WAC because of the implementation of the consumer directed employer (CDE) (SB [ESSB] 6199) and the change from individual providers contracted with the department to individual providers employed by CDE. The current rules will no longer be applicable once all individual providers have been hired by CDE.
Process for Developing New Rule: The department of social and health services (DSHS) welcomes the public to take part in the developing the rules. Anyone interested should contact the staff person identified below. At a later date, DSHS will file a proposal with the office of the code reviser with a notice of proposed rule making. A copy of the proposal will be sent to everyone on the mailing list and to anyone who requests a copy.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Angel Sulivan, P.O. Box 45600, Olympia, WA 98504-5600, phone 360-725-2495, fax 360-438-8633, TTY 1-800-833-6388, email angel.sulivan@dshs.wa.gov.
