WITHDRAWAL OF

PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

[Filed October 23, 2023, 12:07 p.m.]

This memo serves as notice that the department of health (department) is rescinding the preproposal statement of inquiry CR-101 for WAC 246-980-010 in chapter 246-980 WAC, Home care aide rules, which was filed August 3, 2021, and published as WSR 21-16-100.

The board is rescinding this CR-101 because multiple bills passed during the 2023 legislative session that impact the home care aide profession and require amendments to the same rule section. For the sake of efficiency, the department will rescind WSR 21-16-100 and complete all necessary rule making under a new rule package that includes implementation for multiple home care aide bills.

Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Tracie Drake, email tracie.drake@doh.wa.gov, phone 360-480-7479.
