WAC 296-05-205   Petitions, requests, and correspondence submitted to the WSATC.  (1) For the WSATC to act upon petitions or requests at a regular quarterly meeting, the petitions or requests must be submitted in writing to the supervisor at least forty-five calendar days prior to the date of the regular quarterly meeting. Any petitions or requests not submitted forty-five calendar days prior to a quarterly meeting must be deferred to the next regular quarterly meeting. If a petition or request is deferred, the supervisor must notify the petitioner.

     (2) Generally, correspondence not related to apprenticeship and training agreements and meetings, petitions and requests, must be submitted in writing to the supervisor of apprenticeship at least fifteen business days before the quarterly meeting at which the WSATC's consideration is requested. However, if the WSATC determines that the correspondence is crucial to any deliberations regarding approval or disapproval of an apprenticeship agreement, the supervisor may waive this fifteen business day requirement.

     (3) Noncrucial correspondence submitted less than fifteen business days before the quarterly meeting must be considered by the WSATC at the next quarterly meeting.

     (4) When an apprenticeship committee petitions the council or the supervisor, only the signature of the elected chair and secretary of the committee shall be accepted as a valid signature unless the petitioning committee has asked the council to recognize and accept the signature of another person. A petition requesting the recognition of a signature other than that of the elected chair and secretary must be signed by a quorum of the members from the petitioning committee.
