Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The department of licensing (DOL) intends to revise chapter 308-108 WAC in accordance with ESHB 1481 passed during the 2017 session. DOL and the office of superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) developed a required curriculum as required in ESHB 1481 to be followed by school districts, private schools, and commercial driving schools. These rules will define the curriculum audit practices for commercial schools.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: DOL will consult with OSPI for this rule making who is also doing rule making under WSR 18-13-102.
