Washington Administrative Code (WAC) & Federal IDEA 04

OSPI, Special Education expedited rule making for WAC 392-172A-05080
OSPI received a petition for rule making to clarify language in WAC 392-172A-05080, regarding the timeframe for filing a request for a due process hearing. WAC 392-172A-05080 as currently drafted describes the content of a request for a due process hearing, but does not provide a clear description of the timeframe in which a request for a due process hearing must be made. OSPI is using expedited rule making procedures because it is adopting a federal regulation without material change, as permitted by RCW 34.05.353(1)(b). If you object to the use of the expedited rule making process, you must express your objection in writing by 5:00 p.m. on April 5, 2010. Please see the CR-105 for more information. If you have any questions about this proposed expedited rule, please contact Sarah White at
sarah.white@k12.wa.us or (360) 725-6075.
