PERMANENT RULES
Effective Date of Rule: November 1, 2008.
Purpose: In the 2008 legislative session, the department of licensing's security guard program was granted an increase in spending authority to pay for increased expenditures. Because the program must be self supporting under RCW 43.24.086, the funds to pay program expenses must come from licensing fees. An increase in security guard applicants and the requirement to electronically transmit fingerprint cards to the Washington state patrol (WSP) has resulted in a workload increase that is beyond the capacity of the current data entry staff of 2.4 FTEs.
