   On page 9, beginning on line 34, after "(4)" strike everything through "71A.10.020(8)." on line 37 and insert "No collection action shall be taken against parents of children eligible for admission to, or children who have been discharged from, a residential habilitation center as defined by RCW 71A.10.020(8)unless the child with a developmental disability is placed as a result of an action under chapter 13.34 RCW."

EFFECT: Reinstates the prohibition in current law against bringing a collection action against parents of children eligible for admission to, or discharged from, a residential habilitation center (RHC) unless the child is placed into the RHC as a result of a dependency or termination action.
