Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: WAC 230-01-001 Time and place of public meetings will be repealed. The gambling commission will file notice of public meetings annually on or before January with the office of the code reviser for publication in the Washington State Register as outlined in RCW 42.30.075. WAC 230-01-010 Field offices and operations, has been amended to remove reference to our Renton office, which is no longer in existence. WAC 230-01-011 Deadlines for submitting items to be included in the commission meeting agenda, has been amended to remove reference to WAC 230-01-010.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The repeal of WAC 230-01-001 Time and place of public meetings, will allow the commission more flexibility when scheduling their public meetings. Amending WAC 230-01-010 Field offices and operations, will provide accurate information to the public. Amending WAC 230-01-011 Deadlines for submitting items to be included in the commission meeting agenda, is necessary to remove the reference to WAC 230-01-001 [230-01-010], which is being repealed.
