FORMAL PHASE OF AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 388-110 WAC
Dear Boarding Home Administrator:
In August 2008, Residential Care Services (RCS) informed you of possible changes to the Boarding Home (BH) Assisted Living Services contract rules. The department recently filed
the enclosed Proposed Rule-Making CR-102 (WSR 09-14-077) for the amendments to
WAC 388-110-140:
To clarify boarding home physical requirements for contracted assisted living services; to include kitchen sink requirements in resident units that were inadvertently omitted during a previous rulemaking; and to clarify rule language and delete unnecessary or redundant language.
We are now in a more formal phase of the rule-making process, so any comments that you have must be shared either in person at the public hearing or in writing to the department’s Rules and Policies Assistance Unit (RPAU).
The formal hearing for the proposed rules is scheduled:
Date: August 4, 2009
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: Blake Office Park East, Rose Room
4500 10th Avenue SE, Lacey, WA 98503
