Rule/Regulation

Affects

Amends Section 308-30-100 of the Washington Administrative Code.

Changes

Analysis

Under RCW 42.44.190 the Director of the Department of Licensing is empowered to set the fees for a Notary commission by administrative rule. The reasons cited for the increase were an increase in workload in the Notary Public Unit, backlogs in issuing commissions, and the requirement that the Notary Public Unit be self-supporting from the revenues generated.

Read the adopted administrative rule (see page 114).
