DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 13-97 -- Filed May 15, 2013, 3:30 p.m. , effective June 7, 2013, 6:00 p.m. ]


     Effective Date of Rule: June 7, 2013, 6:00 p.m.

     Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900R; and amending WAC 232-28-619.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047 and 77.04.020.

     Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.

     Reasons for this Finding: This rule change is necessary to ensure a safe and successful kids fish-in event. The fish will be planted the evening prior to the event to better acclimate them to the lake. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
