Chapter 110-145 | Group Care: Amending rules to be more developmentally and culturally appropriate and flexible to meet individual child's and youth's needs. Additionally, the project will allow DCYF to best determine how these licensing WAC can better accommodate the most relevant and beneficial programming and settings as possible, all while maintaining minimum health and safety standards. WAC changes will be made using negotiated rule making. | 24-11-084 Filed 5/16/24 | ||
Chapter 110-148 | Foster Care: Amending rules to be more developmentally and culturally appropriate and flexible to meet individual child's and youth's needs. WAC changes will be made using negotiated rule making. | 24-19-029 Filed 9/9/24 | ||
New chapter 110-149, 110-148-1326, 110-50-0165, 110-50-0170, 110-50-0180, 110-50-0190 | Licensing Standards for Kinship Caregivers: Amending rules to remove child-specific items to accommodate a new WAC chapter that will outline the licensing standards for kinship caregivers. This will allow for DCYF to issue child-specific licenses to kinship caregivers and eliminate the need to use nonsafety exemptions and waivers. This will reduce barriers and create better equity for kinship caregivers trying to become licensed. These updates will also provide greater stability and outcomes for children entering foster care. | 24-08-062 Filed 3/29/24 | 25-01-091 Filed 12/13/24 | |
Chapters 110-300, 110-301, 110-302 | Foundational Quality Standards: Amending selected sections of chapter 110-300 WAC, Foundational quality standards for early learning programs; chapter 110-301 WAC, Foundational quality standards for school-age programs; and chapter 110-302 WAC, Foundational quality standards for outdoor naturebased child care. The current WAC wording is a source of confusion, extra work, and frustration for both licensing staff and the child care provider communities that DCYF serves. In addition, it has resulted in an inability to maintain healthy boundaries for children, families, providers, and DCYF. Other types of fixes require more repetitive maintenance. | Anticipated | ||
