     WAC 36-12-165, 36-13-005, 36-14-108, Event fees to be paid by promoter: Increases the event fee from five percent to six percent plus one dollar per ticket sold.

     WAC 36-12-195, 36-13-010, 36-14-110, License fees, renewals and requirements:


WAC 36-12-195 WAC 36-13-010 WAC 36-14-110

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Currently the program does not collect enough revenue to cover program expenditures as required by RCW 43.24.086. Increasing fees will allow us to help offset the costs of the department in administering chapter 67.08 RCW, Boxing, martial arts, and wrestling.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 67.08.017, 43.24.086, 67.08.105.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 67.08.105.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Department of licensing, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Trudie Touchette, 405 Black Lake Boulevard S.W., Olympia, WA 98502, (360) 664-6650.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rules are exempt under RCW 34.05.32 [34.05.328].

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule revision. Washington state department of licensing is not a named agency, therefore, exempt from the provision.
