Hearing Location(s): Department of Health, Town Center 2, Room 158, 111 Israel Road S.E., Tumwater, WA 98501, on June 10, 2008, at 2:30 p.m.
Date of Intended Adoption: June 30, 2008.
Submit Written Comments to: Bonnie King, P.O. Box 47860, Olympia, WA 98504-7860, web site http://www3.doh.wa.gov/policyreview/, fax (360) 236-4626, by June 10, 2008.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Meghan Young by June 2, 2008, TTY (800) 833-6388 or 711.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed rules increase fees for the listed professions by the amount approved by the legislature (ESHB 2687, chapter 329, Laws of 2008), required by Initiative 960, during the 2008 session. Fees were temporarily reduced for many professions in July 2005. The proposed rules raise the fees back to a level that will cover the costs of regulating the professions. The proposed rules also remove fees that no longer exist and add a fee of up to $25 to some professions for access to the University of Washington Library (ESSB 5930, chapter 259, Laws of 2007).
Reasons Supporting Proposal: RCW 43.70.250 requires the department to collect fees to pay the costs to regulate health care providers. It also requires each profession to be fully self-supporting. The cost to regulate health care providers is about $27 million each year. Increases in regulatory activities based on legislation, court cases, and an increase in disciplinary actions has made it necessary for the department to request an increase in fees. Without an increase in fees, the programs will not be able to remain in operation. These fees are critical to ensuring the safety of patients.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 43.70.110, [43.70.]250 and ESHB 2687 (chapter 329, Laws of 2008).
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 43.70.110 and [43.70.]250.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of health, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Bonnie King, 310 Israel Road S.E., Tumwater, WA, (360) 236-4995.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. A small business economic impact statement (SBEIS) was not prepared. Under RCW 19.85.025 and 34.05.310 (4)(f), an SBEIS is not required for proposed rules that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The agency did not complete a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328. RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(vi) exempts rules that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards.
