Adopted under notice filed as WSR 05-07-109 on March 18, 2005.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: (1) WAC 246-930-995 Sex offender treatment provider renewal cycle, is not repealed as part of this CR-103 because it is being repealed under another CR-103 of housekeeping changes. Therefore, it is not necessary to include in this order. (2) A separate CR-103 was filed on April 7, as WSR 05-09-003 for WAC 246-915-350 Inactive credential and 246-915-990 Physical therapy fees and renewal cycle. The "inactive license" and "expired inactive license reissuance" fees are now reflected on the current physical therapy OTS (official transcript). This WAC was being amended in two separate rule-making processes.
