EXPEDITED RULES
Title of Rule: Chapter 434-380 WAC, Official candidates pamphlet -- Statements and photographs.
Purpose: We propose repealing this rule.
Summary: Similar rules covering candidate statements and photographs are being adopted in chapter 434-381 WAC because the statutes were amended combining the statutes for the candidates and voters pamphlets. These rules would be redundant.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: These rules would be redundant to rules being adopted in chapter 434-381 WAC that cover the same issues.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Shawn Merchant, Legislative Building, Olympia, 98504, 902-4154; Implementation and Enforcement: Dean Logan, Legislative Building, Olympia, 98504, 902-4167.
Name of Proponent: Office of the Secretary of State, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: Delete chapter 434-380 WAC because it is no longer necessary because the statutes governing the candidates and voters pamphlet were combined and the rules being proposed in chapter 434-381 WAC cover the same issues that these rules do, making chapter 434-380 WAC redundant.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: The change
deletes the rule.
THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THE USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Shawn Merchant, Office of the Secretary of State, P.O. Box 40229, Olympia, WA 98504 , AND RECEIVED BY December 25, 2001.
