Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Dianna Staley by August 31, 2011, TTY (800) 833-6388 or 711.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed rules increase fees, make general housekeeping edits, and complete language clean-up for the health care professions listed above. The legislature approved the proposed fee increases as part of the budget (2ESHB 1087, chapter 50, Laws of 2011 1st sp. sess. PV). The proposed rules raise fees to a level necessary to administer each profession.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: RCW 43.70.250 requires that each health care profession is self-supporting and directs the department to collect fees to pay the costs to regulate the profession. The costs to regulate and administer health care professions are about $37 million each year. Changes in administrative and regulatory activities based upon credentialing, legislation, and disciplinary actions make it necessary for the department to increase fees. These fees are critical to maintain and improve service for licensees and the public, meet the costs of conducting business, and promote patient safety.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 43.70.250, 43.70.110.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 43.70.250, 43.70.110.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of health, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Dianna Staley, 310 Israel Road S.E., Tumwater, WA, (360) 236-4997; Implementation and Enforcement: Joy King, 310 Israel Road S.E., Tumwater, WA, (360) 236-4936.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Under RCW 19.85.025 and 34.05.310 (4)(f), a small business economic impact statement is not required for proposed rules that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The agency did not complete a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328. RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(vi) exempts rules that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards.
