EMERGENCY RULES
SOCIAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately.
Purpose: To provide a correct physical address for the department's board of appeals (BOA). The BOA moved to Office Building 2 on June 18, 2010.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 388-02-0030.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 34.05.020.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: Parties who appeal an administrative law judge's decision in a case before the department may need to physically serve petitions or responses on the BOA. The rule will give them the correct physical location for service of those pleadings.
