WSR 14-19-123 PERMANENT RULES [Order 704—Filed September 17, 2014, 10:51 a.m., effective November 1, 2014] Effective Date of Rule: November 1, 2014.
Purpose: At their September 2014 meeting, the commissioners adopted a license and I.D. stamp fee increase of approximately six percent.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 230-05-020, 230-05-025, 230-05-030, and 230-05-035.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 14-16-079 on August 1, 2014.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version:
• | After the proposal was filed in July 2014, staff found one mathematical error in WAC 230-05-030(10); defective punch board/pull-tab cost recovery fee had not been increased; therefore, it was updated from $100 to $106. |
• | License fees in odd dollar amounts, $800 and higher, were increased by one dollar to an even dollar amount (there were forty-seven) to accommodate the two-part payment plan. |
