PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 132W-108 WAC, repeal current practice and procedure for administrative hearings.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Chapter 28B.50 RCW.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The college's current chapter 132W-108 WAC was adopted in 1972. Since that time several revised RCWs and WAC at other community and technical colleges have formed a body of practice that allows for the streamlining of the model rules of procedure. Wenatchee's current practice and WAC contains twenty-three items of procedure. The proposed revision keeps the same requirement of process but reduces the detail to eight sections.
Process for Developing New Rule: Agency study.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting William Martin, Dean of Administrative Services, Wenatchee Valley College, 1300 5th Street, Wenatchee, WA 98011, phone (509) 664-2554, fax (509) 664-2544, e-mail bmartin@wvcmail.ctc.edu.
