PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
GAMBLING COMMISSION
[Filed June 1, 2016, 11:19 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Repeal of certain group 12 amusement game rules.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 9.46.070, 9.46.0201.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: We have received a petition for rule change to repeal eight rules related to group 12 amusement games. According to the petitioner, "The amended sections in these WAC's are no longer needed as the WSGC just recently adopted multiple amendments in Section WAC 230-13-005Amusement games authorized that makes Group 12 games no different than Group 1 – 11 games. There is no longer any reason to require Group 12 commercial amusement operators and manufactures to these restrictions and requirements."
Process for Developing New Rule: Interested parties can participate in the discussion of this proposed change by attending a commission meeting, or contacting the agency rules coordinator at the contact information below.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Susan Newer, Rules Coordinator, P.O. Box 42400, Olympia, WA 98504-2400, (360) 486-3466, e-mail Susan.Newer@wsgc.wa.gov, fax (360) 486-3625.
