Subject of Possible Rule Making: Gambling service suppliers and punchboard/pull-tab service businesses.

     Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 9.46.070.

     Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Staff is looking into proposing a rule change that would require gambling service suppliers and punchboard/pull-tab service businesses to submit activity reports to us twice a year for sales and services related to gambling activities. Currently, these licensees do not report their activity to us.

     Process for Developing New Rule: Interested parties can participate in the discussion of this proposed change by attending a commission meeting, or contacting Susan Newer, Rules Coordinator, P.O. Box 42400, Olympia, WA 98504-2400, (360) 486-3466, e-mail Susan.Newer@wsgc.wa.gov, fax (360) 486-3625.

     Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication.
