EXPEDITED REPEAL
The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 192-16-061 Interpretive regulation -- Permanent residence in the United States under color of law -- RCW 50.20.098.
Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
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: Juanita Myers, Rules Coordinator, Unemployment Insurance Division, P.O. Box 9046, Olympia, WA 98507-9046, or jmyers@esd.wa.gov.
Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The regulation conflicts with the federal Department of Labor's interpretation of the term "permanently residing under color of law," but is consistent with court interpretations of this term. Due to this conflict with federal interpretation, the superior court consent decree (No. 86-2-02355-8) which mandated adoption of this regulation has now been dissolved by the joint motion and stipulation of the parties for the order, who are now relieved from the terms and conditions previously imposed by the decree.
