PERMANENT RULES

GAMBLING COMMISSION


[ Order 607 -- Filed March 14, 2007, 12:42 p.m. , effective January 1, 2008 ]


     Effective Date of Rule: January 1, 2008.

     Purpose: The gambling commission is rewriting its rules manual using plain English techniques (rules simplification project). We anticipate the project will be completed by January 1, 2008. The rules manual is being broken into sections and rewritten a section at a time. When the rules relating to card rooms were rewritten and filed by the commission this rule was inadvertently not included. As such, it moved forward under a separate filing and was adopted at the March commission meeting.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.

      Adopted under notice filed as WSR 06-24-061 on December 4, 2006.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted at Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's Own Initiative: New 1, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Clarify, Streamline, or Reform Agency Procedures: New 1, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted Using Negotiated Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0;      Pilot Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Other Alternative Rule Making: New 1, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Date Adopted: March 14, 2007.
