Name of Proponent: Office of Financial Management, governmental.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: WAC 82-50-021 exists to publish the official lagged, semi-monthly pay dates for state officers and employees. This section of WAC, which provides pay dates for the current and ensuing calendar years, is amended each year to add pay dates for the ensuing calendar year and delete the obsolete pay dates for the previous year.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: Official lagged, semi-monthly pay dates for calendar year 1998 are added and the now obsolete pay dates for calendar year 1996 are deleted.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. This WAC establishes pay dates for state officers and employees, and has no effect on small businesses in the state of Washington. The information provided in this rule may be used by businesses that chose to include state pay dates in calendars that they publish. Any economic impact on those businesses, as an indirect result of publishing these dates, should be positive.

Section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. This amendatory rule-making action is required by statute.

Hearing Location: 1st Floor Conference Room, 406 Legion Way S.E., Olympia, WA, on June 10, 1997, at 9:00 a.m.
