WAC 1-21-010   Preproposal statement of inquiry.  To solicit comments from the public as required by RCW 34.05.310 on a subject of possible rule making, but before a formal notice is filed under RCW 34.05.320, an agency shall complete and file with the office of the code reviser a CR-101 form (preproposal statement of inquiry). This requirement does not apply to all rule making. The exceptions are set forth in RCW 34.05.310(4).

     The text of the new rule is neither required nor recommended at this stage, but if text is submitted for filing, it must meet the form and style requirements of WAC 1-21-110 through 1-21-130. The filing will appear in the Washington State Register in accordance with the schedule provided in WAC 1-21-040. Note that the CR-101 must be published at least thirty days before the CR-102 form (proposed rule making) may be filed.
