Behavioral Health and Recovery Sunset Review Schedule

This is a review schedule for all Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery's issuances (rules, policies, and interpretive statements), which affect groups of individuals and businesses outside of DBHR, internal policies, and other documents maintained by DBHR for public information.  The schedule identifies each document and its sunset review date, the section in DBHR responsible for the review, the date the last sunset review was completed, and the last action taken on the document, such as, new, retained, revised, or repealed.  The schedule ensures that all the above documents are reviewed at least once every two years to ensure they are still needed, effective, efficient, clear, coordinated with other agencies, have a cost benefit, are fair, and are in compliance with statutory authority, intent, and the ADA.  For questions call  Julian Gonzales, Certification Supervisor at 360-725-3730.
