WITHDRAWAL OF
PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
[Filed February 6, 2014, 10:32 a.m.]
This serves as notice of withdrawal for the prepropsal statement of inquiry (CR-101) published as WSR 13-14-114 for chapter 246-310 WAC on July 3, 2013. This proposal considered revisions to address health care facility affiliations, corporate restructuring, mergers, and other arrangements, and the greater consumer transparency per the Governor Directive 13-12.
As a result of stakeholder work, the department needed to open chapter 246-320 WAC, Hospital licensing regulations, in addition to chapter 246-310 WAC, Certificate of need rules. These rules were adopted on December 23, 2013, and became effective on January 23, 2014. For this reason, the CR 101 for chapter 246-310 WAC is no longer necessary.
Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Janis Sigman, certificate of need program manager at (360) 236-2321.
