No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. DDD has analyzed these rules and concluded that they do not impact small businesses or small nonprofits.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. These rules are exempt from the preparation of a cost-benefit analysis pursuant to RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(ii) and (vii) as they incorporate Washington state legislation and relate to client medical or financial eligibility.
