Seven and Eight Bed

The department is considering amending WAC 388-76-10031, License requirements—Seven or eight bed adult family homes—Licensure. This proposal refiles the project previously filed as WSR-23-17-056 that seeks to clarify requirements for homes wishing to increase capacity to seven or eight beds when the adult family home (home) serves only residents who do not require assistance with evacuation and the home does not have a residential sprinkler system. This project also implements ESHB Chapter 147, Laws of 2024- Adult Family Homes- Applications to Increase Bed Capacity. The department is filing this notice to combine the two projects. The department may amend other related rules as necessary. 

The status of this rulemaking project is in progress.
