Subject of Possible Rule Making: Division of developmental disabilities family support program.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 71A.12.030, 71A.12.040.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Amended rules will provide consistency and equity in the application of this program. Administration and expenditure control will be improved through better definition of benefits to families. The division of developmental disabilities is converting policy governing family support to rule as required by chapter 34.05 RCW.
Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Rita Dickey, Department of Social and Health Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities, P.O.
