Current and Anticipated Rule Making 2007-09
The State Board of Health adopts rules according to
its
statutory authority
and consistent with the state's
Administrative Procedures Act.
The Board regulates our state's public health efforts
in immunization, safe drinking water, sewage disposal,
control of infectious and non-infectious diseases, and
assuring safe and healthful conditions in our
environment with special emphasis on schools, eating
establishments, and recreation sites. Its rules govern
many operations within local health jurisdictions and
certain practices among private health care providers,
health facilities, schools, child care centers, and some
businesses, such as restaurants and hotels. They also
guide some activities of the state
Department of Health.
This page describes the status of current or recent
(within the last year) rule reviews. For a complete
listing and summary of the Board's rule making authority
please refer to the
Draft Summary of Board Authority. For historic rule
making, please see the
archived descriptions.
The Board delegates some of its rule making functions
to the
Department of Health
under a delegation
policy adopted in November 2000. The Board has
developed a
flow chart that
outlines the roles and processes under which the Board
normally works with the state Department of Health to
develop and approve these rules.
If you have any questions about this process, please

Craig McLaughlin at 360-236-4106.
