    WITHDRAWAL OF
    PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
    [Filed December 30, 2014, 10:39 a.m.]
    The department of health (department) would like to withdraw the following preproposed rule making (CR-101):
    WAC Number
    WSR Number
    Filing Date
    Subject
    246-834 WAC
    14-15-102
    July 18, 2014
    Elements of care by midwives for the newborn.
    The department is withdrawing this CR-101 for the following reason:
    The original intent of the preproposal was to consider clarifying the elements of care by midwives to the newborn.
    Chapter 246-834 WAC, which regulates midwives, is dated and has not had a major rewrite since the early 1990s. The department has filed a new CR-101 to implement 2SHB 1773 and to open the remaining sections of this chapter, not already open in other CR-101 filings, to streamline and modernize the language.
    If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Weed, program manager, health professions and facilities, (360) 236-4883.
