[ Filed July 15, 2002, 3:56 p.m. ]

     Date of Adoption: July 11, 2002.

     Purpose: The department is adopting the amendments to WAC 388-76-535, 388-76-61510, and 388-76-710. WAC 388-76-535 is amended to include RCW 69.41.085 as authority. WAC 388-76-61510 changes the timeline required for developing a negotiated care plan from fourteen to thirty days from date of a resident's admission. This change has resulted from stakeholder input. WAC 388-76-710 is amended to correct the Board of Appeals mailing address and correct cross-references concerning administrative proceedings to chapter 388-02 WAC. Other proposed rules on medication practices in community-based settings, originally proposed as new WAC 388-76-64005, 388-76-64015, 388-76-64020, 388-76-64025, 388-76-64030 and 388-76-64035 in WSR 02-03-117, have been revised and reproposed as WSR 02-14-161 for further public comment.
