PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

[Filed October 23, 2017, 11:23 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: The addition of WAC 139-10-XXX is needed so the Washington state criminal justice training commission (WSCJTC) is able to clearly identify whether or not a corrections employment is in compliance with training mandates.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 43.101.080.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: WAC 139-10-210 requires corrections employees to successfully complete a basic corrections academy within the initial six months of employment; by adding this rule, WSCJTC will be able to identify who is and isn't in compliance with this requirement.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: WSCJTC regulates this process.

Process for Developing New Rule: Negotiated rule making; and commissioners will be advised of the proposed rule changes via email and will also be listed on the agency web site.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Sonja Peterson, 19010 1st Avenue South, Burien, WA 98148, phone 206-835-7356, email speterson@cjtc.state.wa.us, web site www.cjtc.state.wa.us.

Additional comments: What is an available number after 210?
