WSR 18-03-117 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING [Filed January 19, 2018, 11:11 a.m., effective January 26, 2018] Effective Date of Rule: January 26, 2018. Purpose: The department's current regulations require an applicant for a driver's license to provide the applicant's place of birth. A person's place of birth is not necessary for ascertaining a person's identity and should be removed. Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 308-104-014. 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: Without immediate adoption of a rule ending the department's collection of an applicant's place of birth, there is a risk that collection of information that does not prove identity and establishes a Washington resident's national origin could be lawfully obtained by federal law enforcement agencies for federal immigration enforcement purposes, or otherwise could be used to discriminate against a person based on national origin. See Governor's Executive Order 17-01. Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0. Number of Sections Adopted at the Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0. Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's own Initiative: New 0, Amended 1, Repealed 0. Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Clarify, Streamline, or Reform Agency Procedures: New 0, Amended 1, Repealed 0. Number of Sections Adopted using Negotiated Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Pilot Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Other Alternative Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
