Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed changes would require all licensees to complete license renewals and activity reports online.
Licensed organizations may request a waiver for good cause from online renewal and activity reporting. A waiver for good cause would include:
Licensed individuals may request a waiver for good cause from online renewal. A waiver for good cause would include:
The department of revenue (DOR) requires businesses that file monthly and quarterly reports to report online. They provide businesses that are not able to report online a waiver. Our proposed language is similar to the language DOR uses.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.
Statute Being Implemented: Not applicable.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Washington state gambling commission, governmental.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. A small business economic impact statement was not prepared because the rule change does not impose additional costs to licensees. Licensees could get a waiver and would not have to comply with this rule.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington state gambling commission is not an agency that is statutorily required to prepare a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328.
