Statute Being Implemented: RCW 41.06.150.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Agency Comments or Recommendations, if any, as to Statutory Language, Implementation, Enforcement, and Fiscal Matters: SHB 1268 transfers rule-making authority for a majority of subjects to the director of the Department of Personnel. Beginning in July 2004, the director and the Personnel Resources Board have taken action to adopt a new title of civil service rules (Title 357 WAC). The new title will be effective July 1, 2005. Therefore, all current civil service rules in Title 251 WAC need to be repealed. Because there are a few specific areas where the Personnel Resources Board retains rule-making authority the board and the director will be acting jointly to repeal these rules.
Name of Proponent: Department of Personnel, governmental.
