Following is the department of enterprise services' (DES) semi-annual rules development agenda for publication in the Washington State Register. This list identifies rules that we have under active development and rules that the agency anticipates starting some rule-making action on during the next six months.
This agenda also is available on our rule-making website. The information on our website is continually updated as rule making progresses. If we start rule-making activities that are not listed on this agenda or stop listed rule-making activities, that information also will be posted.
Jack Zeigler is available if you have questions about this agenda at email jack.zeigler@des.wa.gov.

Chapter 200-100 WAC, Self-insurance requirements as to local governments
Amend rule to:
• Allow the pilotage commission to self-insure through the local government risk pool. This change is restricted to liability coverage only.
• Provide improved understanding of the rules relative to reserve levels. This change will not change CR-101 rule requirements.
While work was paused due to the impacts of the pandemic, work has restarted. We anticipate filing a prenotice of inquiry (CR-101) before the end of July.
