Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 230-10-330 Recordkeeping requirements for bingo licensees with gross gambling receipts less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars in their previous license year, agricultural fairs, and other organizations.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposal is to fix an inadvertent error in a rule that was previously passed in our fee simplification rules package #2.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This is a fix to an inadvertent error made in fee simplification package #2. This clarifies recordkeeping requirements for bingo licensees with gross gambling receipts over one hundred fifty thousand dollars in a previous license year.
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 Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Enforcement: Tina Griffin, Assistant Director, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3546; and Implementation: David Trujillo, Director, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3512.
This notice meets the following criteria to use the expedited adoption process for these rules:
Have been the subject of negotiated rule making, pilot rule making, or some other process that involved substantial participation by interested parties before the development of the proposed rule.
Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: This rule was amended as part of the agency's fee simplification process, including negotiated rule making where licensees and stakeholders were substantially involved prior to the passage of all fee simplification rule changes, including this rule that was in package #2. This is not a substantive change to the rule and solely fixes an inadvertent error in the rule when the commission passed package #2.
