Hello,
The Department of Health (department) is implementing Section 7 of Second Substitute House Bill (2SHB) 1724 (chapter 425, Laws of 2023) by emergency rule.
On September 28, 2023, the department filed a CR103 emergency rule package establishing a directory to help mental health counselor, marriage and family therapist, and social worker associates find supervisors and setting supervision standards.
These emergency rules: (1) establish a new program to facilitate placement of associates with qualified supervisors (referred to as the “directory”), (2) set requirements for individual providers and facilities to be listed in the directory, and (3) set minimum standards for supervision of associates.
The department is establishing the directory and supervision standards by emergency rule to meet the October 1, 2023, deadline set by 2SHB 1724. The department will refine the directory and supervision standards through the permanent rulemaking process.
