[Filed February 3, 2014, 6:21 p.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 390-16-105, 390-16-115, and 390-16-125.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 42.17A.110(8).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Amendments to the mini reporting rules are necessary to clarify procedures that must be followed when a campaign registers under the mini reporting options, receives contributions or makes expenditures that exceed the mini reporting eligibility criteria, and continues to accept contributions and/or make expenditures.
