TRAINING COMMISSION
Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 139-10-240 defines the content of the juvenile security workers academy. In June 2004, the name of this academy was changed to juvenile corrections officer academy in WAC 139-10-210.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Changing this rule will provide consistency between WAC 139-10-240 and 139-10-210.
