Possible adoption of substitute and/or new WAC chapters and/or rules which are required or permissive for technical colleges.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28B.50.140(13).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The listed chapters have generally not been updated since 1992 or 2000. The college seeks to update now to be consistent with current practices and laws, with best practices, and where possible to maintain flexibility for future operations.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None identified. The state board for community and technical colleges has general supervision and control over the state system of community and technical colleges but does not regulate an individual college's rule making.

Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting James R. Tuttle, Chief Human Resources and Legal Affairs Officer, (253) 589-5533, jim.tuttle@cptc.edu, or Lisa Beach, Budget and Compliance Officer, (253) 589-5603, Lisa.Beach@cptc.edu; both at Clover Park Technical College, 4500 Steilacoom Boulevard S.W., Lakewood, WA 98499.
