WSR 14-21-102 PERMANENT RULES DEPARTMENT OF ENTERPRISE SERVICES [Filed October 15, 2014, 11:20 a.m., effective November 15, 2014]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Other Findings Required by Other Provisions of Law as Precondition to Adoption or Effectiveness of Rule: The expedited rule-making process requires a period of forty-five days for anyone to file objections to the proposed rule. No objections were filed with the agency within the forty-five day period.
Purpose: WAC 200-600-015 requires state agencies to develop a training and development plan. While the specific requirements of the plan are listed under WAC 200-600-025; WAC 200-600-015 incorrectly directs the reader to WAC 357-34-030. The purpose of this rule-making action is to amend WAC 200-600-015 in order to correctly direct the reader to WAC 200-600-025.
WAC 200-600-030 requires agencies to report to the department of enterprise services their compliance with sexual harassment awareness and prevention training requirements under WAC 357-34-100 and 357-34-105.
WAC 200-600-030 is no longer needed because a system is in place that automatically captures relevant state agency training information and is capable of providing reports sufficient to comply with the sexual harassment awareness and prevention training requirements of this rule as well as those of WAC 357-34-100 and 357-34-105. This system is known as the learning management system and is managed by the department of enterprise services. The purpose of this rule-making action is to repeal WAC 200-600-030.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 200-600-030; and amending WAC 200-600-015.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 43.19 RCW.
