Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Repeal of WAC 230-06-046 Additional requirements for licensed business premises of nonhouse-banked, Class F, and house-banked card rooms.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The gambling commission (commission) proposes to repeal WAC 230-06-046 Additional requirements for licensed business premises of nonhouse-banked, Class F, and house-banked card rooms. The commission has taken the existing rule, amended it and moved it to chapter 230-03 WAC, the licensing chapter. With a new rule under consideration on this topic in chapter 230-03 WAC, the need for this rule is no longer necessary.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: The current rule will become redundant once the proposed rule (WAC 230-03-182) in chapter 230-03 WAC is adopted.

Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Adam Amorine, Rules Coordinator, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3473; Implementation: Tina Griffin, Director, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3546; and Enforcement: Gary Drumheller, Deputy Director, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 509-325-7904.

Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: As noted, this rule is to be replaced by a similar rule that will be in chapter 230-03 WAC, making this rule redundant.
