Office of the Code Reviser
The Oral History Program has documented the career of Washington State’s first Code
Reviser in Richard White: An Oral History. Beginning in 1951 until his retirement
in 1978, White created and then transformed the office of the Code Reviser, replacing
multiple carbon copies and manual typewriters with high-speed computers and copy
machines. The Code Reviser’s office drafts bills for legislation, state law and
administrative rules.
