Latest version.
- (1) Under RCW 34.05.320, notice of proposed rule making must be published in the Washington State Register at least twenty days before the agency may hold a hearing on the proposal. The Washington State Register is distributed on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. If a distribution date falls on a state holiday as determined by RCW 1.16.050, the distribution date of that Washington State Register will be delayed until Thursday.(2) In counting the twenty-day notice period, consider the distribution date of the pertinent Washington State Register as day twenty; count down to day zero to find the first day on which a hearing may be held; cf. RCW 1.12.040 and State ex rel. Earley v. Batchelor, 15 Wn.2d 149 (1942).(3) The schedule of closing dates on page 2 of each Washington State Register applies this section and WAC 1-21-040 to the current year. In case of a discrepancy between the WAC rules and the schedule, the rules have priority.
