PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
[Filed October 2, 2017, 9:02 a.m., effective February 1, 2018]
Effective Date of Rule: February 1, 2018.
Purpose: WAC 246-812-990 Denturist fees and renewal cycle, the amended rule reduces application and renewal fees to bring denturist licensing fee revenues into closer alignment with the actual costs of regulating the profession, while allowing reserves, used to cover unanticipated events such as increased disciplinary costs, to decrease to a more desirable level. The license verification fee is also adjusted to provide consistency throughout the regulated health care professions. The department anticipates that the fee reductions could result in increased credential growth in this profession.
