Subject of Possible Rule Making: The public disclosure commission (PDC) will consider making inflationary adjustments to the contribution limits and reporting values in the Fair Campaign Practices Act.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Under RCW 42.17A.125, PDC must consider revising monetary limits and reporting values every two to five years. Adjustments are made by rule in recognition of the economic changes as reflected in the inflationary index recommended by the office of financial management (OFM) and rounded off to be most accessible for the public. The economic conditions reflected in the current inflationary index may warrant adjustments in monetary limits and thresholds throughout the FCPA.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: PDC must use an inflationary index recommended by OFM to calculate the inflationary adjustments. PDC will coordinate with OFM to determine the inflationary index to calculate the adjustments for each monetary value.
