WAC 1-21-160
Filing after office hours. The office of
the code reviser is open for the filing of agency rule-making
notices and orders from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except legal holidays.
An electronic filing system is available to all state
agencies seven days a week, twenty-four hours per day. Each
state agency must submit a registration letter before using
this system.
The office of the code reviser delegates to the
Washington state patrol the authority to accept at other times
the filing of orders adopting, amending, or repealing rules
when the nature of the order requires their immediate filing
and/or effectiveness. To use this service, the agency may
telephone the Washington state patrol communications center at
360-586-1999. When your call is answered, request a zone 4
trooper and arrange for receipt of the filing(s). The agency
shall give the original and three copies of each filing to the
trooper. The trooper shall mark each copy with the trooper's
name, badge number, date, and time and arrange for all of the
copies to be delivered to the office of the code reviser as
early as possible on the next business day. The agency filing
the rules with the state patrol shall notify the office of the
code reviser of the filing by 9:00 a.m. on the next business
day after filing and arrange to receive the stamped copies.
