WSR 22-15-105
PERMANENT RULES
HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY
[Filed July 19, 2022, 3:01 p.m., effective August 19, 2022]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The authority amended these rules to fix an error in the final CR-103P rule text filed under WSR 21-18-058. The agency held a public hearing and received a request from a stakeholder to add psychiatric advanced registered nurse practitioners to the definition of appropriately trained person in addition to some other housekeeping changes. The authority agreed to make this change; however, the final rule text filed under WSR 21-18-058, effective September 26, 2021, inadvertently did not include the addition of psychiatric advanced registered nurse practitioners or the other housekeeping fixes.
