AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 98-24-060, filed 11/30/98, effective 12/31/98)

Deposits for one million dollars or less can be requested at any time prior to 10 a.m. on the day of deposit.

     For all other deposits over one million dollars that are requested prior to 10 a.m., a pool participant may receive same day credit at the discretion of the office of the state treasurer, taking into account when notification is received, the amount of the deposit, or any other factor that may affect the office of the state treasurer's ability to accommodate the requested deposit.

     All deposits will be made by electronic funds transfer to an account designated by the state treasurer. It is the responsibility of each pool participant to pay any bank charges associated with such electronic transfers to the office of the state treasurer. Failure to wire funds by a pool participant (after notification to the state treasurer of an intended transfer) will result in a bank overdraft in the state treasurer's bank account. Bank penalties for overdrafts will be assessed to those pool participants responsible for the overdraft.

[Statutory Authority: Chapter 43.250 RCW and RCW 43.250.090. 98-24-060, § 210-01-080, filed 11/30/98, effective 12/31/98. Statutory Authority: 1986 c 294. 86-14-002 (Resolution No. 639), § 210-01-080, filed 6/19/86.]
