PDFWAC 391-08-001

Application and scope.

The purpose of chapter 391-08 WAC is to provide comprehensive and uniform rules of practice and procedure before the agency. This chapter sets forth general rules applicable to all types of proceedings before the agency. To the extent these rules of practice and procedure differ from the model rules adopted by the chief administrative law judge under RCW 34.05.250 and found in chapter 10-08 WAC, these rules prevail.
If a conflict arises between a general rule in this chapter and a special rule in another chapter applicable to a particular proceeding, the special rule governs.
