Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This proposal repeals a rule requiring a permit to transport liquor through the state. The permit application must include information on the route, the time and date of transfer, a description of the vehicle and a description of the liquor being transported. The permit limits the holder to certain described transport vehicles and to a specified type and amount of liquor. The permit and appropriate documentation must be carried in the vehicle and must be presented on request of appropriate authorities. The vehicle may be inspected. The permit must be mailed back to the board when the product reaches its destination. This rule no longer presents [represents] the agency practice. No permit is required and the agency has issued letters to concerned transporters stating that they may transport without a permit.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: No permits are currently issued to those who transport liquor through the state to destinations outside the state. The alcohol being transported is not used or sold within the state. No rule is necessary.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 66.08.030.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
