PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(Operations Support and Services Division)
(Background Check Central Unit)
[Filed January 15, 2015, 2:51 p.m., effective February 15, 2015]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The purpose of this coordinated rule making is to move children's administration (CA) background check requirements from chapter 388-06 WAC, WAC 388-06-0010 through 388-06-0260, to chapter 388-06A WAC. Under a separate CR-103, CA will create chapter 388-06A WAC and permanently adopt CA's background check rules. This rule making is intended to resolve confusion and misapplication of program-specific background check requirements that exist because CA programmatic background check requirements are contained in the rule chapter for department-wide background check requirements.
