PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Review the State Building Code Council's procedure for reconsideration, WAC 51-04-040.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 19.27.035, 19.27.070, 19.27A.045.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The State Building Code Council determined during the past code adoption cycle that the RCW citation under WAC 51-04-040 is not pertinent to the council process. The council would like to establish a policy that more clearly sets out a process for reconsideration of code proposals.
Process for Developing New Rule: Ad Hoc Committee review.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication.
