WSR 16-20-024 EXPEDITED RULES OFFICE OF INSURANCE COMMISSIONER [Insurance Commissioner Matter No. R 2016-25—Filed September 27, 2016, 12:04 p.m.]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Candidate handbook name change to candidate information bulletin.
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 Stacy Middleton, Office of Insurance Commissioner (OIC), P.O. [Box] 40260, Olympia, WA 98504-0260, e-mail rulescoordinator@oic.wa.gov, AND RECEIVED BY December 6, 2016.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Changing name in WAC 284-17-551 WAC, from "candidate handbook," to "candidate information bulletin" to align with phrasing used by PSI Services and the NAIC State Licensing Handbook.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: PSI Services and the NAIC State Licensing Handbook use the term candidate information bulletin rather than candidate handbook. As a result of a recent concern with a candidate, OIC determined it should update WAC 284-17-551.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 48.17.005.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Mike Kreidler, insurance commissioner, governmental.
