Rulemaking for mental health assessment for young children

2SHB1325 (2021) changed policy related to mental health assessments in young children. In order to support this change, an emergency rule amendment of WAC 182-531-1400 went into effect on Saturday, January 1.

To read the filing notice and view the emergency rules, see WSR 22-02-035.

Emergency rules are generally effective for 120 days. A process to permanently amend WAC 182-531-1400 to support implementation of 2SHB1325 (2021) is underway.

A preproposal statement of inquiry was filed on Monday, October 5 (see WSR 21-20-14). If you would like to participate in an external review of the early rule draft, please contact Jason Crabbe (Jason.crabbe@hca.wa.gov) and Christine Cole (Christine.cole@hca.wa.gov).
