WITHDRAWAL OF

PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

[Filed September 16, 2022, 8:39 a.m.]

This memo serves as notice that the board of nursing home administrators (board) is withdrawing the CR-101 in which the board is considering adopting a new section in chapter 246-843 WAC regarding a retired active status credential, and amending WAC 246-843-180 regarding renewals of expired licenses, which was filed on June 22, 2022, and published in WSR 22-13-186.

The board is withdrawing this CR-101 to change the scope of its rule making. The board determined requirements for renewing an expired nursing home administrator's license should more broadly include continuing education course requirements and not a state exam. A new CR-101 will be filed that will include this new scope, as well as including consideration of adopting a new section of rule to establish a retired active status credential.

Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Kendra Pitzler, program manager, at kendra.pitzler@doh.wa.gov.
