Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 284-24-120 (6)(c), correction of the definition of motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance in the regulation providing for suspension of filing requirements for large commercial accounts.

     Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 48.02.060 and 48.19.080.

     Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Chapter 48.96 RCW was repealed under SHB 2553 during the 2006 legislative session. This creates an incorrect reference to the definition of motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance in WAC 284-24-120. The commissioner will consider options in this rule making to rectify this.

     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; and by sending written comments by December 11, 2006, to Kacy Scott, P.O. Box 40255, Olympia, WA 98504-0258, fax (360) 586-3109, e-mail KacyS@oic.wa.gov.
