Revisions of Chapter 388-76 WAC
Dear Adult Family Home Provider:
Enclosed is the Rule-Making order (CR 103) for the revision of chapter 388-76-WAC Adult Family Home Minimum Licensing Requirements. The rule making order was filed with the Office of the Code Reviser and will be published in the Washington State Register as WSR 07-21-080. The rule becomes effective on January 1, 2008.
The purpose of amending this rule was to:
- Comply with the Governor’s Executive Order 05-03 Plain Talk;
- Simplify language, eliminate the question and answer format, reorganize and renumber the chapter so that the requirements are clearer for adult family home providers to understand;
- Clarify issues that have been brought to the attention of the department; and
- Update rules to comply with statute changes.
This rule revision repeals all existing sections and adopts all new sections of chapter 388-76 WAC adult family home minimum licensing requirements.
A link to the final rule will be added to the ADSA Internet at: http://www.adsa.dshs.wa.gov/professional/afh.htm.
If you have any questions, please contact Roger A. Woodside at (360) 725-3204 or by e-mail at woodsr@dshs.wa.gov.
Sincerely,
Joyce Pashley Stockwell, Director
Residential Care Services
