EMERGENCY RULES

DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING


[ Filed July 19, 2010, 12:01 p.m. , effective July 19, 2010, 12:01 p.m. ]


     Effective Date of Rule: Immediately.

     Other Findings Required by Other Provisions of Law as Precondition to Adoption or Effectiveness of Rule: See below.

     Purpose: Amend sections within chapter 308-330 WAC, the model traffic ordinance (MTO), to incorporate statutory changes made from 2004 to 2009, inclusive.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 308-330-197, 308-330-316, 308-330-320, 308-330-415, 308-330-464, and 308-330-700.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 46.90.010.

     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: Avoiding the delay resulting from permanent rule adoption will enable local law enforcement to hold drivers accountable for the public safety hazard presented in violation of recently enacted statutes by enabling them to cite the MTO which has been adopted by many local authorities, rather than state statute, since many are accustomed to cite to the MTO. The proposal for a permanent rule, with an opportunity for comment, is forthcoming.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 6, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted at Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's Own Initiative: New 0, Amended 6, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Clarify, Streamline, or Reform Agency Procedures: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted Using Negotiated Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0;      Pilot Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Other Alternative Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Date Adopted: July 19, 2010.
