Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The Liquor Control Board is currently undergoing a review of all of its rules, per Executive Order 97-02. The agency has found that the following rules are no longer needed for the reasons stated:
WAC 314-56-010 and 314-56-020 Scientific studies and research, the agency has determined these rules are not necessary in order for the board to hire persons to conduct research regarding alcohol.
WAC 314-78-010 Official seal of the board, the statutory authority for this rule is RCW 66.08.030 (2)(g), which says the board can prescribe an official seal to be attached to every package of liquor. This law was written in 1933, when all distilled spirits were sold under the name of the Liquor Control Board. This practice is no longer followed.
