Dear Interested Stakeholder,
DSHS’ Developmental
Disabilities and Aging and Long-Term Support administrations are drafting language for
proposed agency-request legislation. We need your feedback.
The proposal would expand the list of provider types that can
share access to criminal background-check information. This includes: community
residential service businesses, enhanced services facilities, home care agencies,
and the consumer directed employer for individual providers.
Increasing the scope of providers with access to shared background
checks:
- Helps reduce potential gaps in service;
- Improves overall background-check wait times and backlog;
- Reduces provider workload and background-check turnaround time; and
- Is a fiscally-responsible change in practice.
Please review the draft legislation and provide any feedback by
close of business September 10, to Luisa Parada
Estrada.
Thank you.
