This section was inadvertently missed when filing the CR-102 proposal under WSR 22-12-079.
The department is proposing to repeal and amend sections of chapters 388-71 and 388-113 WAC, because of the implementation of the consumer directed employer (CDE) with the passage of SB 6199 in 2018, and the change from individuals providers contracted with the department to individual providers employed by the CDE.
