PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

[Filed May 6, 2016, 3:04 p.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: Repeal of WAC 132G-300-010 Grievance procedure, Title IX.

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: Repeal of WAC 132G-300-010 Grievance procedure, Title IX, is needed because the college has adopted a new policy, Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy 4113, which is more comprehensive and enhances college compliance with federal law, including Title IX and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act. The college's new policy does not require codification in the Washington Administrative Code.

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 each 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 Stephen Smith, Vice-President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs, 16101 Greenwood Avenue North, Shoreline, WA 98133, phone (206) 546-4694, fax (206) 546-5850, e-mail sccrulemaking@shoreline.edu.
