PERMANENT RULES
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Other Findings Required by Other Provisions of Law as Precondition to Adoption or Effectiveness of Rule: Session Law 1087 establishes office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) to adopt rules to enact ESHB 1449.
Purpose: These rules are to support the 2011 legislature in that the legislature finds that the current economic environment requires that the state, when appropriate, charge for some of the services provided directly to the users of those services. The legislature finds that the processing of certifications should be moved to an on-line system that allows educators to manage their certifications and provides better information to policymakers. The legislature intends to assess a certification processing fee to eliminate state-funded support of the cost to issue educator certificates. The hearing on December 28, 2011, brought forth proposed WAC 392-194-001 and 392-194-002 and with no opposing comment OSPI submits WAC 392-194-001 and 392-194-002 to be made permanent.
