ELIMINATION OF ADVISORY BOARDS AND COMMITTEES

Dear Boarding Home Administrator:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the 2009 state legislature just passed Engrossed Senate Bill 5995 which eliminates certain boards, committees and commissions.  The Boarding Home Advisory Board (BHAB) is among the ones to be eliminated effective June 30, 2009.

To view the bill that was passed, please see the following internet link:  http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2009-10/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Passed%20Legislature/5995.PL.pdf.  Section 7 pertains to the Boarding Home Advisory Board.

The Department will continue to seek input from individuals associated with boarding homes when amending rules and developing policies.  The process for you to provide feedback will not change and the department will continue to give you the opportunity to review and comment on any rule-making.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your local RCS Field Manager.

Sincerely,

Joyce Pashley Stockwell, Director
Residential Care Services
