Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Statute on which the rule was based has been repealed and has not been replaced by another statute providing statutory authority for the rule.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: Ms. Jannice T. Gordon, P.O. Box 42633, Olympia, WA 98504-2633, (360) 705-5102.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: In 1996, the legislature, through passage of 2SSB 6272, required all school district employees and contractors hired before June 11, 1992, undergo a state and FBI background check. The legislature mandated these background checks be in process by June 30, 1997, and that the appropriation expire on March 31, 1998. This section also has an expiration date of March 31, 1998. The repeal is being filed to eliminate the expired section of WAC.
