PROPOSED RULES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 99-16-042.
Title of Rule: Form for reporting loans received, paid, forgiven or outstanding--Schedule L (to Form C-3 or C-4).
Purpose: To update the loan reporting form in compliance with RCW 42.17.090(l)(k) and WAC 390-16-034 in reporting an individual's occupation and the name, city and state of the individual's employer when a contribution of $100 or more is received by a candidate or political committee.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 42.17.370(1).
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 42.17.090.
Summary: The proposed amendment would allow space on the Schedule L form to report the occupation and the name, city and state of an individual's employer if such individual loans money or anything of value to a campaign.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: Persons who loan money or anything of a value to a campaign are making a contribution to the campaign. However, currently, the loan reporting form does not accommodate reporting of occupation and employer information on the face of the form. The commission determined that it is appropriate for the actual form to be amended to include space for reporting an individual's occupation and the name, city and state of his or her employer.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Vicki Rippie, Public Disclosure Commission, 711 Capitol Way, Room 403, Olympia, (360) 586-4838; and Enforcement: Susan Harris, Public Disclosure Commission, 711 Capitol Way, Room 403, Olympia, (360) 753-1981.
Name of Proponent: Public Disclosure Commission, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: Pursuant to RCW 42.17.090(l) and WAC 390-16-034, if an individual contributes $100 or more to a candidate or political committee, the recipient must report that individual's occupation and the name, city and state of the individual's employer.
Anyone who loans money or anything of value to a campaign has made a contribution to the campaign. However, the current loan reporting form does not accommodate reporting of the required occupation and employer information.
The actual loan reporting form -- Schedule L (to the C-3 or C-4 form) -- would be amended to include space for reporting this information.
The proposed Schedule L would also accommodate reporting of in-kind loans as well as monetary loans.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: The changes provide a space on the PDC Form Schedule L (to the C-3 or C4 forms) for an individual's occupation and the name, city and state of the individual's employer if they loan money or anything of value to a campaign in the amount of $100 or more.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The amendment does not have an impact on small business.
Section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. The Public Disclosure Commission is not specified in section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, as being subject to this section nor has it been brought under the section as otherwise provided in the chapter law.
