How to Participate in Rulemaking
The rules writing process is open to the public. The public is welcome to take part in helping us write rules. Rules are also known as regulations, Washington Administrative Code, or WAC. The rule-making process includes public notices and workshops, and usually a public hearing before a rule becomes final.
You may find more information from our partners about what is a behavioral health support specialist, the clinical training program, and the clinical implementation plan at the University of Washington webpage.
The rules for the new behavioral health support specialist profession were finalized at the end of 2024 and can be found in chapter 246-821 WAC. Send an email If you have questions about these rules.
