SB 6024 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Streamlining monitoring and oversight activities related to community residential service business providers.

SB 6024 aims to reduce administrative burdens for community residential service providers (organizations supporting people with developmental disabilities) by streamlining oversight. It limits the Department of Social and Health Services to one annual routine review per provider per subject area (e.g., client finances, service plans, federal compliance) and requires departments to share documents across divisions to avoid duplicate requests. The bill excludes incident reports, complaints, and federally mandated reviews from these limits. This directly affects over 87% of residential service providers in Washington, aiming to redirect resources toward direct client support rather than overlapping audits.
