Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: The proposed rule describes how to obtain a retired active credential and sets a fee for the credential. The rule implements 1998 legislation. This rule would allow retired chemical dependency professionals to hold their CDP credential at a reduced rate and be able to work in emergency circumstances.
Proposal does not change existing rules.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. A small business economic impact statement is not required because the rule adjusts fees, the content is dictated by statute and it is a process requirement related to obtaining a credential.
RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. This rule is not legislatively significant because it is a procedural rule and does not subject an individual to sanctions.
Hearing Location: 1101 Eastside Street, Olympia, WA 98504, on January 2, 2002, at 9:00 a.m.
