PROPOSED RULES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 02-19-001.
Title of Rule: Replaces existing chapter 118-65 WAC, Enhanced 9-1-1 funding, with new chapter 118-66 WAC, Enhanced 9-1-1 funding.
Purpose: The purpose of this rule is to incorporate changes made to the RCW by HB 2595 (chapter 341) on enhanced 9-1-1 service.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 38.52.540.
Statute Being Implemented: HB 2595 (chapter 341, Laws of 2002).
Summary: The purpose of new chapter 118-66 WAC is to specify purposes for which moneys collected under the new wireless enhanced 9-1-1 excise tax may be expended as enacted by the 2002 legislature, chapter 341, Laws of 2002 and incorporates existing language in chapter 118-65 WAC in new chapter 118-66 WAC that currently applies to the existing enhanced 9-1-1 excise tax collected on switched access lines.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This rule making replaces existing rules, and creates new sections to implement RCW 38.52.540 as enacted and signed during the 2002 legislative session.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: David Griffith, Camp Murray, Building 20, (253) 512-7015; Implementation and Enforcement: Bob Oenning, Camp Murray, Building 20, (253) 512-7011.
Name of Proponent: State 911 Coordinator, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: The current chapter 118-65 WAC defines criteria and eligibility of counties to receive assistance from the state enhanced 9-1-1 account. HB 2595 added a statewide excise tax to be collected from wireless telephone users and to be used to fund the implementation and operation of wireless enhanced 9-1-1 service. New chapter 118-66 WAC that defines the criteria and eligibility of counties to receive assistance from the state enhanced 9-1-1 account for both wireline and wireless enhanced 9-1-1 service replaces the existing chapter 118-65 WAC.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: These changes reflect amendments made to RCW 38.52.010, 38.52.540, 82.14B.020, and 82.14B.030, and the addition of RCW 38.52.501 and 38.52.561.
Delete chapter 118-65 WAC Enhanced 9-1-1 funding in its entirety:
Add chapter 118-66 WAC, Enhanced 9-1-1 funding to included:
• WAC 118-66-010, defines the authority for chapter 118-66 WAC.
• WAC 118-66-020, defines the purpose of chapter 118-66 WAC and the prioritization process for receiving funds.
• WAC 118-66-030, provides definitions for wireline and wireless E9-1-1 service.
