Subject of Possible Rule Making: Amending existing rules affected by passage of SB 5148 during the 2019 legislative session.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
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 by contacting Eric Gardner, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, phone 360-902-2515, fax 360-902-2162, email wildthing@dfw.wa.gov, web site wdfw.wa.gov.
