Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: Prior to December 8, 1996, RCW 18.30.090(3) allowed individuals who did not otherwise qualify under subsections (1) and (2) of this section were provided an opportunity to qualify for licensure by examination through years of employment in the field of denture technology and successful completion of approved training courses. This option is no longer available.
