PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

This memo serves as notice that the dental quality assurance commission (commission) is withdrawing the CR-101 for WAC 246-817-905 Exclusions. The commission was considering adding residential habilitation centers to the list of exclusions for the opioid prescribing rules. This CR-101 was filed September 22, 2022, and published under WSR 22-20-011.

The commission is withdrawing this CR-101 and plans to file a new CR-101 to include exclusions for nursing homes and long-term care hospitals in addition to residential habilitation centers. This change will mirror rule language for the Washington state medical commission, encouraging cross-profession cohesion and improving patient safety.

Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Amber Freeberg, program manager, at 360-236-4893.
