Subject of Possible Rule Making: Amendment of WAC 196-24-097 Seal/stamp usage.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 18.43.035.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Under Executive Order No. 97-02 this rule was scheduled for evaluation and possible amendment. The current language includes items that do not correspond to all acceptable practices on the application and use of seals. Also current language has been shown (since last adoption) to cause various questions on intent that can be improved by amendment.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Rick Notestine, Program Director, P.O. Box 9649, Olympia, WA 98507-9649, fax (360) 664-2551, phone (360) 586-7298.
Persons may comment by mail or phone as noted. Draft language of any proposed changes will be distributed at the mailing of the CR-102 in approximately thirty days after the filing of this notice. Distribution of the rule filings is made to our rule-making mailing list.
