This serves as notice that the department is withdrawing the CR-101 for chapter 246-843 WAC that was filed June 7, 2006, and published in WSR 06-12-109. The original intent of the preproposal was to amend rules for nursing home administrator license requirements. The board of nursing home administrators would like to withdraw this CR-101 and review these and other rules pertaining to the licensing of nursing home administrators in light of changes in the profession and industry since the CR-101 was filed.

     If the board of nursing home administrators after a thorough review chooses to amend these rules, a new CR-101 will be filed so that the public may participate in the full process.

     Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Kendra Pitzler, program manager for the board of nursing home administrators, at (360) 236-4723.
