Subject of Possible Rule Making: Designation of waters in which either a freshwater or saltwater license is valid
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Section 41, chapter 191, Laws of 1998
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The 1998 legislature created new recreational licensing, and provided that the department may identify, by rule, transition areas where either a saltwater or freshwater license may be used. Such rules will reduce angler confusion

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 Bruce Crawford, Assistant Director, Fish Management Program, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98504-1091, (360) 902-2325.
