Subject of Possible Rule Making: Licensed organizations.

     Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 9.46.070.

     Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Staff is looking into proposing a rule change to clarify that licensees must report certain new and updated information to us within thirty days, such as changes in their articles of incorporation or bylaws, contracts that [are] related to gambling activities, and cash contributions. The thirty day requirement was previously in our rules and was inadvertently removed during a rules simplification project that was completed in 2008 to rewrite our rules in plain talk.

     Process for Developing New Rule: Interested parties can participate in the discussion of this proposed change by attending a commission meeting, or contacting Susan Newer, Rules Coordinator, P.O. Box 42400, Olympia, WA 98504-2400, (360) 486-3466, e-mail Susan.Newer@wsgc.wa.gov, fax (360) 486-3625.

     Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication.
