     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Effective July 1, 2011, the department increased the daily medicaid payment rates for clients assessed using the CARE tool and who resident in adult family homes or who reside in boarding homes contracted to provide AL, ARC, and EARC services. Under ESSB [2ESHB] 1087, the 2011/13 biennial operating budget, 2011 1st sp. sess., adult family home rates are enhanced to compensate for the licensing fee increase. Boarding home rates are restored to March 31, 2011, levels. However, because new training requirements are delayed pursuant ot [to] ESHB 1548, 2011 1st sp. sess., the previously given rate enhancement for training is removed from the boarding home rate until such time that the new training requirements are reinstated.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: New chapter 74.34 RCW based on chapter 7, Laws of 2011 1st sp. sess.

     Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 74.34 RCW.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Department of social and health services, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Ken Callaghan, 4500 10th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA, (360) 725-2499.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Pursuant to RCW 19.85.025(3), a small business economic impact statement is not required because this rule adjusts rates according to legislative standards.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Proposal is exempt under RCW 34.05.310(4).
