Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
RCW
				   42.56.030 states that the Public Records Act
				"shall be liberally construed and its exemptions narrowly construed." The
				department will provide all records required by law. However, there are times
				when all or part of a record request may be denied, such as when:
(1) The record is exempt from disclosure by
			 law.
(2) The request is for lists
			 of individuals for commercial purposes, including family home
			 providers.
(3) The requestor has
			 not asked for an identifiable record. The Public Records Act requires access to
			 existing, identifiable public records in an agency's possession at the time of
			 the request.
(4) The request
			 requires the department to collect or organize data to create a public record,
			 or to give data that did not exist at the time of the public records
			 request.

Washington Administrative Code › Title 170 - Early Learning, Department of › Chapter 170-01 - Disclosure of public records › Section 170-01-0270 - Department reviews of records request denials

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) All review requests must be in writing
			 (letter, fax or email). All review requests must specify the part or parts of
			 the denial or redaction that the requestor wishes to be reviewed.
(2) If the department denies all or part of a
			 request, or redacts any portion of a record, the requestor may request a review
			 of this decision by:
(a) Asking the public
			 records officer for an internal review. The denial will either be upheld or
			 reversed within two business days after the receipt of the review
			 request.
(b) Asking for an external
			 review by the attorney general's office.
Requestors may initiate this by sending a request for review to
				Public Records Review, Office of the Attorney General, P.O. Box 40100, Olympia,
				WA 98504-0100 or publicrecords@atg.wa.gov.
(c) Asking for a judicial review.
To initiate a court review of a public records case, a
				requestor can file a "motion to show cause" which directs the agency to appear
				before the court and show any cause why the agency did not violate the act. The
				case must be filed in the superior court in the county in which the record is
				maintained.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) There is no
			 cost to inspect public records.
(2)
			 Calculating the actual costs of charges for providing public records is unduly
			 burdensome because the department does not have resources to conduct a study of
			 actual costs for all requested records. In addition, conducting such a study
			 would interfere with other essential agency functions.
(3) The department may do one or more of the
			 following:
(a) Charge for copies of records
			 according to the default fees in
			 RCW
			    42.56.120(2)(b), (c), and
			 (d);
(b) Charge for customized services pursuant
			 to
			 RCW
			    42.56.120(3);
(c) Charge other copy fees authorized by
			 statutes outside of chapter 42.56 RCW; and
(d) Enter into an alternative fee agreement
			 with a requestor under
			 RCW
			    42.56.120(4).

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The purpose of
			 this chapter is to establish rules for background checks conducted by the
			 department of early learning (DEL or department).
(2) The department conducts background checks
			 on subject individuals who are authorized to care for or have unsupervised
			 access to children receiving early learning services.
(3) The department conducts background checks
			 to reduce the risk of harm to children from subject individuals who have been
			 convicted of certain crimes or who pose a risk to children.
(4) The department's rules and state law
			 require the evaluation of background information to determine the character,
			 suitability, or competence of persons who will care for or have unsupervised
			 access to children receiving early learning services.
(5) If any provision of this chapter
			 conflicts with any provision in any chapter containing a substantive rule
			 relating to background checks and qualifications of persons who are authorized
			 to care for or have unsupervised access to children receiving early learning
			 services, the provisions in this chapter shall govern.
(6) These rules implement chapters 43.215 and
			 43.43 RCW, including DEL
			 responsibilities in
			 RCW
			    43.215.200,
			 43.215.205,

			 43.215.218,
			 43.43.830, and
			 43.43.832.
(7) Effective date: These rules are initially
			 effective July 3, 2006, and apply prospectively. Effective July 1, 2012, these
			 rules are amended to allow for increased and continued portability of
			 background check clearances for subject individuals who are authorized to care
			 for or have unsupervised access to children receiving early learning
			 services.

Washington Administrative Code › Title 170 - Early Learning, Department of › Chapter 170-06 - DEL background check rules › Section 170-06-0050 - Department action following completion of background inquiry

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
As part of the background check process the department will
				conduct a character, suitability or competence assessment as follows:
(1) Compare the background information with
			 the DEL director's list, WAC
			 170-06-0120, to determine whether
			 the subject individual must be disqualified under WAC
			 170-06-0070(1) and
			 (2). In doing this comparison, the department
			 will use the following rules:
(a) A pending
			 charge for a crime or a deferred prosecution is given the same weight as a
			 conviction.
(b) If the conviction
			 has been renamed it is given the same weight as the previous named conviction.
			 For example, larceny is now called theft.
(c) Convictions whose titles are preceded
			 with the word "attempted" are given the same weight as those titles without the
			 word "attempted."
(d) The term
			 "conviction" has the same meaning as the term "conviction record" as defined in
			 RCW
			    10.97.030 and may include convictions or
			 dispositions for crimes committed as either an adult or a juvenile. It may also
			 include convictions or dispositions for offenses for which the person received
			 a deferred or suspended sentence, unless the record has been expunged according
			 to law.
(e) Convictions and pending
			 charges from other states or jurisdictions will be treated the same as a crime
			 or pending charge in Washington state. If the elements of the crime from the
			 foreign jurisdiction are not identical or not substantially similar to its
			 Washington equivalent or if the foreign statute is broader than the Washington
			 definition of the particular crime, the defendant's conduct, as evidenced by
			 the indictment or information, will be analyzed to determine whether the
			 conduct would have violated the comparable Washington statute.
(f) The crime will not be considered a
			 conviction for the purposes of the department when the conviction has been the
			 subject of an expungement, pardon, annulment, certification of rehabilitation,
			 or other equivalent procedure based on a finding of the rehabilitation of the
			 person convicted, or the conviction has been the subject of a pardon,
			 annulment, or other equivalent procedure based on a finding of
			 innocence.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) If DEL has reason to believe that
			 additional information is needed to determine the character, suitability or
			 competence of the subject individual to care for or have unsupervised access to
			 children receiving early learning services, additional information will be
			 requested. Upon request, the subject individual must provide to the department
			 any additional reports or information requested. This additional information
			 may include, but is not limited to:
(a)
			 Sexual deviancy evaluations;
(b)
			 Substance abuse evaluations;
(c)
			 Psychiatric evaluations; and
(d)
			 Medical evaluations.
