WAC 296-05-321   Apprenticeship agreement -- Cancellation.  The supervisor may recommend that an agreement and program be canceled when a program does not comply with these rules or the program's standards. The procedures for cancellation are as follows:

     (1) When any program is found to be operating inconsistently or contrary to these rules or its established program standards, the supervisor must notify the offending committee, person, firm or agency of the violation(s).

     (2) The offending committee, firm, or agency has sixty calendar days to correct the violation(s).

     (3) If the supervisor does not receive notice, within sixty calendar days, that action has been taken to correct the violations, the supervisor may recommend cancellation of the apprenticeship or training program and agreement to the WSATC.

     (4) A recommendation to cancel a program must be in writing, addressed to each WSATC member, and detail the reasons for the recommendation.

     (5) A copy of the recommendation, along with a notice that the WSATC will consider the recommendation, must be mailed to the last known address of each member of the committee administering said program, or to those persons responsible for the program.

     (6) The WSATC must consider the recommendation at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. However, at least thirty calendar days must pass between the date of the recommendation and the date of the regular quarterly meeting. If thirty calendar days have not passed, the recommendation must be considered at the subsequent regular quarterly meeting.

     (7) At the regular quarterly meeting, all interested person(s) may present evidence or testimony regarding the recommendation.

     (8) The WSATC must act on the recommendation by a majority vote of the members present and voting.

     (9) Once the WSATC has voted, it must give written notification of its decision to all interested parties along with the reasons supporting it.

     (10) The cancellation of any program or agreement automatically cancels any agreement(s) registered under them. However, any organization or firm not responsible for the violations that caused the cancellation may petition the WSATC for approval of the canceled agreement or program as a new program.
