Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The gambling commission is considering repealing this rule as circumstances have changed. The gambling commission no longer uses the effective date timelines outlined in the rule, rather it identifies the effective date on the rule-making order (CR-103P for permanent rules or a CR-103E for emergency rules) in accordance with RCW 34.05.380, 34.05.350, and 34.05.360.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This rule is not consistent with current agency practices and therefore should be repealed.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 9.46.070.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Washington state gambling commission, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Brian Considine, LLM, 4564 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3469; Implementation: Tina Griffin, Interim Director, 4564 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3546; and Enforcement: Gary Drumheller, Interim Assistant Director, 901 North Monroe, Suite 240, Spokane, WA 99201, 509-325-7904.
This notice meets the following criteria to use the expedited repeal process for these rules:
The rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: This rule can be repealed through expedited rule making because the rule is not consistent with current agency practices as circumstances have changed. The agency implements effective dates consistent with RCW 34.05.380, 34.05.350, and 34.05.360 (identified on the rule-making orders). Repealing this rule is necessary to avoid confusion but will not have an impact on agency practices in terms of rule-making effective dates.
