Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.
Address Your Objection to: Lynne McGuire, Rules Coordinator, Office of Financial Management, P.O. Box 43113, Olympia, WA 98504-3113.
Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: These rule sections discuss travel and travel reimbursement policies for state officials, employees and members of boards, commissions and committees. As part of the Office of Financial Management's review of its rules under Executive Order 97-02, the agency has been working with customer agencies to identify improvements to travel policies. Customers concur with OFM's current practice of including the most current travel-related policies in the OFM Policy and Procedures Manual and they would rather have the policies in this manual than in the WAC. Because these policies are directed at the internal management of agencies and their inclusion in the WAC is duplicative at best and, if there are timing differences, contradictory at worst, we propose to repeal the policies in the WAC and continue to maintain the policies in the OFM Policy and Procedures Manual.
