     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Staff is requesting a rule change to clarify that licensees must report certain new and updated information to us within thirty days, such as changes in their articles of incorporation or bylaws, contracts that related to gambling activities, and cash contributions.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: The thirty day requirement was previously in our rules and was inadvertently removed during a rules simplification project (RSP) that was completed in 2008 to rewrite our rules in plain talk. Prior to the RSP, this rule was worded slightly different. The thirty day reporting requirement was specifically required for the items listed in subsection (2) of the rule. During RSP, the thirty day time frame was only included in subsection (1), which only pertains to items initially submitted with an application. Subsection (2) pertains to new or updated documents that must be reported to agency staff so they can be properly reviewed, approved and investigated if necessary (e.g., loans, contracts/agreements, business organizational documents, etc.). This change makes clear the types of documents and timeline the documents must be submitted to us.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.

     Statute Being Implemented: Not applicable.

     Name of Proponent: Washington state gambling commission, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Susan Newer, Lacey, (360) 486-3466; Implementation: Rick Day, Director, Lacey, (360) 486-3446; and Enforcement: Mark Harris, Assistant Director, Lacey, (360) 486-3579.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. A small business economic impact statement has not been prepared pursuant to RCW 19.85.025, and/or the proposed rule change clarifies language of rules without changing the effect.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington state gambling commission is not an agency that is statutorily required to prepare a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328.
