Purpose: Move recordkeeping requirements for interstate motor carriers set forth in chapter 46.87 RCW to chapter 308-91 WAC, Reciprocity and proration, with an effective date of July 1, 2015. Prevents a lapse in recordkeeping requirements due to passage of SB 5297 passed by legislature during 2015 session.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 46.87.010(2).
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: Existing statutory language related to interstate motor carrier recordkeeping was repealed by SB 5297. Emergency rules are necessary to ensure recordkeeping requirements are adopted in chapter 308-91 WAC on July 1, 2015.
