PROPOSED RULES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 99-23-053.
Title of Rule: WAC 4-25-522 Operations and procedures.
Purpose: Repeal sections of chapter 4-25 WAC.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 18.04.055.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 18.04.055.
Summary: Repeal section of chapter 4-25 WAC.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: Portions of the section are duplicative of statute and other board rules, other portions are too generic to be useful, the listing of administrative duties is incomplete, and the section itself is not particularly relevant or useful. The board proposes to move relevant portions of the section to WAC 4-25-510.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Dana M. McInturff, CPA, 210 East Union, Suite A, Olympia, (360) 664-9194.
Name of Proponent: Board of Accountancy, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: This rule is not particularly relevant or useful. Statute and other board rules govern portions of this section making those portions redundant. Other portions are too generic to be useful. The listing of board administrative duties is incomplete. The board will propose moving two minor portions of the section to WAC 4-25-510.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: Eliminates a rule that is for the most part unnecessary. The board proposes moving the following two minor portions of the rule to WAC 4-25-510:
1. The board consists of seven members.
2. The board's meetings are open public meetings. Contact the board's office for information regarding the board's activities.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The repeal of this rule will not have more than minor economic impact on business.
RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. The Board of Accountancy is not one of the agencies required to submit to the requirements of RCW 34.05.328.
