PROPOSED RULES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 99-16-043.
Title of Rule: Auction reporting form--Attachment Au (to PDC Form C-3).
Purpose: To update the Auction Reporting Form in compliance with RCW 42.17.090 (1)(k) and WAC 390-16-034 in reporting an individual's occupation and the name, city and state of the individual's employer when a contribution of $100 or more is received by a candidate or political committee.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 42.17.370(1).
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 42.17.090.
Summary: The proposed amendment would allow space on the Au form to report the occupation and the name, city and state of an individual's employer if such individual donates or purchases items of $100 or more at campaign auctions.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: To assist filers in meeting their reporting obligations.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Vicki Rippie, Public Disclosure Commission, 711 Capitol Way, Room 403, Olympia, (360) 586-4838; and Enforcement: Susan Harris, Public Disclosure Commission, 711 Capitol Way, Room 403, Olympia, (360) 753-1981.
Name of Proponent: Public Disclosure Commission, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: Pursuant to RCW 42.17.090(1) and WAC 390-16-034, if an individual contributes $100 or more to a candidate or political committee, the recipient must report that individual's occupation and the name, city and state of the individual's employer.
Persons who donate to and purchase items at campaign auctions are making contributions to the campaign. However, currently, the auction reporting form does not accommodate reporting of this occupation and employer information on the face of the form. Instead, the form directs filers to attach a sheet giving the required information.
The actual Auction Reporting Form -- Attachment Au -- would be amended to include space for reporting this information.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: The changes provide a space on the PDC Form Au (Attachment to C-3) for an individual's occupation and the name, city and state of the individual's employer if they donate or purchase items at a campaign auction of $100 or more.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The amendment does not have an impact on small businesses.
Section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. The Public Disclosure Commission is not specified in section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, as being subject to this section nor has it been brought under the section as otherwise provided in the chapter law.
