PERMANENT RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

NATURAL RESOURCES

[Filed February 25, 2025, 10:06 a.m., effective March 28, 2025]

Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

Purpose: The department of natural resources' (DNR) commercial real estate program update to WAC 332-22-060 to be consistent with RCW 79.13.060 (1)(b) which was modified in the 2022 legislative session. WAC 332-22-060 language is currently inconsistent with the statute requiring all leases, regardless of type and term, to have periodic rental reevaluation and adjustment. In addition, DNR is adding language to the WAC clarifying the definition for "periodic rental reevaluation and adjustment." This will create consistency for DNR between state statutory requirements and its administrative rules.

Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 332-22-060.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 79.13.060 (1)(b).
