DSHS Semi-Annual Rule-Making Agenda
January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 (as updated on January 25, 2008)
This report is a list of rules that will be under development by DSHS administrations, divisions and other operating units from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, as well as actions that were completed near the end of the previous reporting period. DSHS files a rule-making agenda with the Code Reviser twice each year to comply with RCW 34.05.314. There may be additional DSHS rule-making activity not included in this agenda as the Department responds to implement new state laws, to meet federal requirements, or to meet unforeseen circumstances.
If you have questions about this rule-making agenda or DSHS rule-making under the Administrative Procedure Act, please contact the DSHS Rules Coordinator, at PO Box 45850, Olympia, Washington, 98504-5850 or by phone at (360) 664-6097.
