ESD is responsible for initiating rule making to implement new state laws, meet federal requirements, and to meet unforeseen circumstances. Because of this variability, this agenda is prepared for informational purposes only and any dates noted herein are planning estimates that are subject to change. Additional rule making can occur in addition to what is listed on the agenda.
This agenda does not constitute a rule or rule-making action. Any errors or omissions in this agenda do not affect the actual rules or rule-making notices filed with the office of the code reviser and published in the Washington State Register.
The rule-making process can appear complex. ESD has outlined the process on its website to help constituents understand and become involved https://www.esd.wa.gov/newsroom/rulemaking-process. If you have additional questions, please contact the agency rules coordinator, Janette Benham, 360-790-6583, email rules@esd.wa.gov.
