Subject of Possible Rule Making: The conditions and requirements for situating nonhouse-banked, Class F, and house-banked card rooms adjacent to each other.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: WAC 230-06-046, regarding additional requirements for licensed business premises of nonhouse-banked, Class F, and house-banked card rooms, establishes the conditions under which card rooms cannot be adjacent to each other. There is a need to further clarify under which limited conditions nonhouse-banked, Class F, and house-banked card rooms can be adjacent to each other. This rule making may take the form of amending WAC 230-06-046 and/or creating a new rule.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
