PROPOSED RULES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 09-09-049.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Staff is proposing an amendment to allow individuals (for example, card dealers, distributor representatives, bingo managers, etc.) to report name changes thirty days after the effective date of the change. Currently, they must report a name change thirty days before the change. Individuals are unable to submit proof of a name change until after their name is legally changed (for example, divorce or marriage). Organizations and businesses would still be required to request a name change thirty days before the effective date of the change. The rule currently requires organizations and individuals to report name changes thirty days before the effective date of the change. This requirement is easy for name changes of organizations and businesses; however, staff has found it to be problematic for individual name changes. Changing the requirement to allow individuals to report name changes thirty days after the fact will streamline processes for licensees and staff.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: See above.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.
Statute Being Implemented: Not applicable.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Washington state gambling commission, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Susan Arland, Rules Coordinator, Lacey, (360) 486-3466; Implementation: Rick Day, Director, Lacey, (360) 486-3446; and Enforcement: Mark Harris, Assistant Director, Lacey, (360) 486-3579.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. A small business economic impact statement has not been prepared pursuant to RCW 19.85.025 because the change would not impose additional costs on businesses.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington state gambling commission is not an agency that is statutorily required to prepare a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328.
