DEPARTMENT OF

ENTERPRISE SERVICES

[Filed June 20, 2019, 7:56 a.m.]

The department of enterprise services (DES) has begun work in support of amending chapter 200-200 WAC, State capitol grounds traffic and parking regulations. The purpose of this rule making is to:

1. Align the rules with current parking practices, policies and statutory requirements;

2. Not present barrier when implementing improved processes and practices;

3. Make sure the rules are easily and quickly understood; and

4. Not replicate/duplicate other parking requirements.

In support of this rule making, DES has identified sections in chapter 200-200 WAC parking and traffic control on the capitol grounds that are more appropriate to chapter 200-220 WAC, Use of the public areas of the capitol buildings and grounds. These sections are not parking related and should transition out of chapter 200-220 WAC. DES has also identified a section in chapter 200-210 WAC, Capitol Lake and adjoining lands and roadways, that should transition to chapter 200-200 WAC parking and traffic control on the capitol grounds.

Based on the above, I request the code reviser's office decodify and recodify the rules, as shown on the list of changes below.

If you need additional information, please contact Jack Zeigler at 360-902-0970 or jack.zeigler@des.wa.gov.

The following sections are decodified and recodified as follows:
