RPAU sends e-mail notices to people interested in receiving DSHS rulemaking information by using any of the electronic mailing lists (listserv files) that we maintain. If you would like to be notified by e-mail when DSHS files a rulemaking notice (CR-101, CR-102, CR-103 or CR-105) on a particular subject, choose one of the lists below. Please note: If you sign up for the RPAUEVERYTHINGS list, you will be notified about every DSHS rulemaking notice.
How to subscribe for e-mail notification: Send an e-mail message to: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.DSHS.WA.GOV. In the body of your e-mail message, type subscribe and the name of the list(s) you wish to join, followed by @LISTSERV.DSHS.WA.GOV. For example, to get notices about rulemaking actions from the DSHS Developmental Disabilities Administration, your message would say: subscribe RPAUDDDG@LISTSERV.DSHS.WA.GOV. If you need help signing up, contact the DSHS Rules Coordinator.
