     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Amending the form for report of legislative activity by public agencies to include new services attachment and travel attachment pages and correct statutory references to reflect the recodification of chapter 42.17 RCW to chapter 42.17A RCW. These pages are for disclosure of payments made by public agencies to contract lobbyists and expenditures for travel related to lobbying, respectively.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: These amendments will provide guidance to public agencies required to report lobbying activity and bring uniformity to public agencies' disclosure of lobbying-related expenditures, both of which should increase public access to public agencies' lobbying expenditures.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 42.17.370(1).

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 42.17.190 and chapter 204, Laws of 2010.

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

     Name of Proponent: PDC, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Lori Anderson, 711 Capitol Way, Room 206, Olympia, WA 98504, (360) 664-2737; and Enforcement: Phil Stutzman, 711 Capitol Way, Room 206, Olympia, WA 98504, (360) 664-8853.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The implementation of these rule amendments has minimal impact on small businesses.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The PDC is not an agency listed in subsection (5)(a)(i) of section 201. Further, the PDC does not voluntarily make section 201 applicable to the adoption of these rules pursuant to subsection (5)(a)(i) of section 201, and, to date, the joint administrative rules review committee has not made section 201 applicable to the adoption of these rules.
