     Date of Intended Adoption: September 19, 2007.

     Submit Written Comments to: Pam Madson, P.O. Box 43080, Olympia, WA 98504-3080, e-mail rules@liq.wa.gov, fax (360) 704-4921, by September 5, 2007.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Pam Madson by August 31, 2007, TTY (800) 855-2880 or (360) 664-1648.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of this rule making is to repeal WAC 314-11-025 that lists the types of official identification that a person must present if their age is questioned when purchasing alcohol. The board proposes to remove reference to the need for expiration dates on these documents and the need to show a punched expired Washington driver's license along with a temporary license.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: RCW 66.16.040 sufficiently describes the types of documents that must be shown by a person when that person's age is questioned for purposes of purchasing alcohol. The format of the temporary Washington driver's license has changed to include a picture giving it the characteristics of a permanent license. Expiration dates are not a requirement for an official form of ID.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 66.16.040.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 66.16.040.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Washington state liquor control board, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Pam Madson, 3000 Pacific Avenue S.E., Olympia, WA, (360) 664-1648; Implementation and Enforcement: Pat Parmer, 3000 Pacific Avenue S.E., Olympia, WA, (360) 664-1726.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. No small business economic impact statement was prepared. This proposal imposes only minor impact on businesses in the industry.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. A cost-benefit analysis is not required.
