PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 180-79A-155.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28A.410.010.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The proposed amendment to WAC 180-79A-155 would state that the Superintendent of Public Instruction will determine the status of certificates held by applicants from other states, but does not specify the exact method of this determination. The method currently specified in the WAC is outdated.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Early solicitation of public comments and recommendations respecting new, amended or repealed rules, and consideration of the comments and recommendations in the course of drafting rules.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by sending written comments to Rules Coordinator, State Board of Education, P.O. Box 47206, Olympia, WA 98504-7206, fax (360) 586-2357, TDD (360) 664-3631. For telephone assistance contact Larry Davis at (360) 753-6715.
