Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 132F-168-060 Copying, access to public records.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 42.56.100, 42.56.040 (1)(d), 42.56.120 (as amended by chapter 304, Laws of 2017).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The proposed changes to this rule is to implement the state legislature's new Public Records Act requirement, effective July 23, 2017.
