Reviser's note: Notice of Objection: The Joint Administrative Rules Review Committee finds that WAC 390-20-110 has not been modified, amended, withdrawn, or repealed by the Public Disclosure Commission so as to conform with the intent of the Legislature as expressed in RCW 42.17.170 and 42.17.180. Therefore, pursuant to its authority under RCW 34.04.240, this notice of objection is filed.
The Joint Committee finds that WAC 390-20-110 requires the disclosure of information from lobbyists' employers which RCW 42.17.170 specifically excludes from reporting by lobbyists. It is the opinion of the Joint Committee that the Commission is attempting to obtain information from lobbyists' employers which the Commission would not otherwise be able to obtain from lobbyists themselves. This would thwart the express intent of the Legislature that such information is inappropriate for reporting. WAC 390-20-110 would effectively neuter the reporting exemptions in RCW 42.17.170—the Commission would have the information. This is not what the Legislature intended.
