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 are 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 [contact agency for link]. We update rule-making information on our website as rule making progresses. If we start rule-making activities not listed on this agenda or stop listed rule-making activities, we immediately post that information to our rule-making website and inform interested and known affected parties.
Jack Zeigler is available if you have questions about this agenda at email jack.zeigler@des.wa.gov.
