Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Revision of chapter 137-69 WAC and the full repeal of chapter 137-65 WAC are required to align with the statutory revisions made following the passing of 2SHB 1818. The statutory revisions will no longer allow department of corrections (DOC) to assess or collect cost of supervision fees. Furthermore, the statutory revisions will no longer allow an assessment and collection of the interstate transfer application fee for individuals seeking to transfer the supervision of their Washington sentence out of Washington state.
