WSR 16-17-102 EXPEDITED RULES PUBLIC DISCLOSURE COMMISSION [Filed August 19, 2016, 9:11 a.m.]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Duties of elections officials receiving copies of campaign finance reports, WAC 390-13-100.
NOTICE
THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Lori Anderson, Public Disclosure Commission, e-mail lori.anderson@pdc.wa.gov, P.O. Box 40908, Olympia, WA 98504-0908, AND RECEIVED BY October 25, 2016.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Prior to 2010, candidates and political committees filed disclosure reports with the public disclosure commission and locally with their counties' election administrators. Chapter 205, Laws of 2010, repealed the local filing requirement. Counties were required to keep the reports for six years and make them available in a manner set out in chapter 390-13 WAC. The six year retention period expired in June 2016 and the commission now repeals its rule that dictated recordkeeping requirements.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This rule is based on a repealed statute.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 42.17A.110.
Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 205, Laws of 2010.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
