PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Commercial licensing application deadlines.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 77.12.047.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The legislature passed SB 5443, which allows an heir or estate a reasonable period of time to make an application to renew a license that expired after a decedent failed to renew during the year of the demise. The department will adopt a rule that incorporates a "reasonable period."
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Jim Lux, Management Services Program, Assistant Director, 600 Capitol Way, Olympia, WA 98501-1091, phone (360) 902-2444.
