Existing WMD Laws and Rules
Steps in the rule-making process
The "Preproposal Statement of Inquiry" (also known as the CR-101 form) notifies the public that the WMD is considering the development of a new rule, amending an existing rule, or repealing an entire or sections of a rule. The CR-101 and all other "CR" notices are filed with the Code Reviser's Office and published in the Washington State Register.
The "Proposed Rule Making" (also known as the CR-102 form) is a formal notice to the public of what rule amendments WMD is currently proposing and how they can comment on them. The information includes a brief description of the rule; the WAC number; a copy of the proposed rule text; the date, time and location of the public hearing; a deadline and process to submit comments; and a Small Business Economic Impact Statement (SBEIS), if required.
The "Rule Making Order" (also known as the CR-103P form) adopts and makes effective the proposed rule text filed with the CR-102 form. Rules usually become effective 31 days after filing the CR-103P form.
