Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The key rules in this fifth rule package sets the following: Licensees reporting of gross gambling receipts on their quarterly license reports and they must submit a quarterly license report for each quarter they hold a license even if they have paid their annual maximum license fee; and (2) adds a fee for linked bingo prize providers, which is meant to correct a technical oversight because these providers were inadvertently excluded from the fee schedule changes made in package #1 filed on February 9, 2018, in WSR 18-05-026. Reasons Supporting Proposal: These two changes provide clarification and technical changes to the simplified fee schedule rules filed on February 9, 2018, in WSR 18-05-026. In general, changes to the commission's fee structure were made to reduce the approximately one ninety-four different fees for commercial and nonprofit organizations and individuals into a simplified structure that would be easier and more predictable for both the agency and its licensees. Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070. Statute Being Implemented: RCW 9.46.070. Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision. Name of Proponent: Washington state gambling commission, governmental. Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Enforcement: Tina Griffin, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3546; and Implementation: David Trujillo, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3512. A school district fiscal impact statement is not required under RCW 28A.305.135. A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The Washington state gambling commission is not an agency that is statutorily required to prepare a cost-benefit analysis under RCW 34.05.328. This rule proposal, or portions of the proposal, is exempt from requirements of the Regulatory Fairness Act because the proposal: Is exempt under RCW 19.85.025(3) as the rules only correct typographical errors, make address or name changes, or clarify language of a rule without changing its effect; and rules set or adjust fees under the authority of RCW 19.02.075 or that set or adjust fees or rates pursuant to legislative standards, including fees set or adjusted under the authority of RCW 19.80.045.
