EMERGENCY RULES
Effective Date of Rule: July 1, 2010.
Purpose: To correct error in the firm/assumed name fee from $210.00 to $200.00 and correct the subsequent fingerprint processing fee.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending 1 [WAC 308-124A-775].
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 18.85.041, 18.85.061.
Other Authority: RCW 18.85.451.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: RCW 18.85.451 is effective July 1, 2010. The law does not allow for the collection of $10.00 fee for real estate firms. Thus the fee needs to be lowered from $210.00 to $200.00. The state patrol/FBI changed the fee for fingerprinting on subsequent attempts.
