DEPARTMENT OF

SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
(Aging and Disability Services Administration)

[ Filed June 29, 2007, 11:53 a.m. , effective July 1, 2007 ]

     Effective Date of Rule: July 1, 2007.

     Purpose: The department is creating WAC 388-832-0001 through 388-832-0470 to combine three family support programs into one individual and family services program as directed by the legislature.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 71A.12.030, 71A.12.040.

     Other Authority: Chapter 283, Laws of 2007 (2SSB 5467).

     Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that state or federal law or federal rule or a federal deadline for state receipt of federal funds requires immediate adoption of a rule.

     Reasons for this Finding: Chapter 283, Laws of 2007 (2SSB 5467) directs the department to create the individual and family services program for persons with developmental disabilities by July 1, 2007. A preproposal statement of inquiry (CR-101) was filed as WSR 07-10-018 on April 20, 2007. At that time, the department proposed amending chapter 388-825 WAC but has since decided that a new chapter is required, due to the length of the new rules. Proposed rule making CR-102 will be filed by August 15, 2007.
