PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

[Filed July 20, 2017, 5:32 p.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 132G-276-090 Charges for copies of public records.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 42.56.120, as amended by chapter 304, Laws of 2017 (EHB 1595), and RCW 28B.50.140(13).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: EHB [1595], passed in 2017 and effective July 23, 2017, forward, has modified the authority for state agencies (including higher education) to charge for costs associated with producing records in response to a public records request. Shoreline Community College will be revising the section of our public records rule related to this update.

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. Interested parties can participate in the decision to revise WAC 132G-276-090 of the current public records rule for Shoreline Community College before publication by contacting Veronica Zura, Director of Human Resources, 16101 Greenwood Avenue North, Shoreline, WA 98133, phone (206) 546-4769, email sccrulemaking@shoreline.edu, fax (206) 546-5850.
