     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The department inadvertently omitted repealing WAC 388-535-1265 when replacing this section with WAC 388-535-1271.

The emergency repeal of WAC 388-535-1265 will be in place until a permanent repeal of WAC 388-535-1265 takes effect.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Repealing this rule is necessary because the replacement rule WAC 388-535-1271, is effective on April 1, 2007.
