PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

[Filed June 17, 2017, 10:07 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: Creating a WAC for the purpose of interpreting and defining terminology of licenses in RCW 77.15.568 that were modified in SB 5306.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 77.04.090, 77.04.130, 77.15.568, 77.08.010(70), 77.65.510, 77.65.515, 77.65.520, SB 5306.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: SB 5306 introduces different terminologies of licenses that are not defined elsewhere. This WAC provides a cross-walk of the license in the modified bill in RCW 77.15.568 to the existing license titles defined in RCW 77.08.010(70), 77.65.510, 77.65.515, and 77.65.520.

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 Trisha Anderson, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Licensing Program, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501, phone (360) 902-2211, fax (360) 902-2466, email Trisha.Anderson@dfw.wa.gov.
