PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

GAMBLING COMMISSION

[Filed August 16, 2022, 4:01 p.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: The Washington state gambling commission (WSGC) is considering amending its rules related to pull-tab inventory control, including WAC 230-14-260.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 9.46.070.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: WSGC received a petition from a licensee proposing to amend rules so that pull-tab licensees no longer need to write the date they put a pull-tab game in play on purchase invoices. Some pull-tab licensees already write the date in play information on records, besides the purchase invoices, and feel there is duplication. Amending rules may allow some licensees flexibility related to pull-tab inventory control.

Process for Developing New Rule: Negotiated rule making.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Jess Lohse, P.O. Box 42400, Olympia, WA 98504-2400, phone 206-786-3530, TTY 360-486-3637, email rules.coordinator@wsgc.wa.gov, website www.wsgc.wa.gov; or Adam Teal, phone 360-486-3475, email adam.teal@wsgc.wa.gov.
