SUPERINTENDENT OF

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

[ Filed August 23, 2005, 4:39 p.m. , effective September 23, 2005 ]


     

     Purpose: The rules are being amended to accommodate repealing of RCW 28A.310.380 and also incorporate guidance for use of interfund loans used by the ESDs. This will allow ESDs to establish enterprise funds to account for those operations requiring enterprise fund accounting. This will establish authority to allow ESDs to use interfund loans between the general fund and enterprise fund operations. This authority is modeled after the school district interfund loan process.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending chapter 392-125 WAC.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 28A.150 RCW.

      Adopted under notice filed as WSR 05-11-030 on May 10, 2005.
