EMERGENCY RULES
Date of Adoption: June 28, 2001.
Purpose: To repeal WAC 390-16-155 Mini campaign reporting -- Exceeding limitations.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 390-16-155.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 42.17.370(1).
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: Repeal of this rule conforms with WAC 390-16-105, eliminates the abbreviated reporting option, and institutes a campaign reporting system having only two options (mini and full reporting). Under the current time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment the permanent adoption of this rule would not take effect until after the 2001 general election (RCW 42.17.370(1)) and would result in confusion as to the responsibilities of persons filing campaign reports.
