Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Statute on which the rule was based has been repealed and has not been replaced by another statute providing statutory authority for the rule; and rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.
Address Your Objection to: Department of Licensing, Business and Professions Division, Debt Adjuster Section, P.O. Box 9649, Olympia, WA 98507-9649.
Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The passage of SHB 1251 abolishes the regulation requiring debt adjusters to be licensed by the state and transfers authority for inspection and investigation of debt adjusters to the Office of the Attorney General. It also repeals RCW 18.28.170, which gave the director the authority to promulgate rules. The effective date of SHB 1251 is July 1, 1999.
