EXPEDITED RULES
GAMBLING COMMISSION
[Filed May 25, 2022, 2:43 p.m.]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 230-16-125 
Disposable bingo card packing slips and packing label and 230-16-195 
Additional requirements for sales invoices.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including 
Any Changes in Existing Rules: WAC 230-16-125 (1)(a)  requires that 
manufacturers of disposable bingo card label each marketing unit to 
include an I.D. stamp number. This is not a practice that the agency 
is requiring any longer and therefore this portion of the rule can be 
repealed.
WAC 230-16-195 (1)(e)(iii)  requires manufacturers and distribu-
tors to document the I.D. stamp number for disposable bingo cards on 
sales invoices. The I.D. stamp number is no longer required on the 
sales invoice because the I.D. stamp number is no longer required on 
the label, therefore this portion of the rule can be repealed.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: Repealing these portions of each 
rule will provide clarification to manufacturers of disposable bingo 
cards in regard to the requirements for marketing unit labels and 
sales invoices and be consistent with current agency practices.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 9.46.070.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 9.46.070.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court 
decision.
Name of Proponent: Washington state gambling commission, govern-
mental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Adam Teal, 
Staff Attorney, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 360-486-3475; 
Implementation: Tina Griffin, Director, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, 
WA 98503, 360-486-3546; and Enforcement: Gary Drumheller, Acting As-
sistant Director, 4565 7th Avenue S.E., Lacey, WA 98503, 509-325-7904.
This notice meets the following criteria to use the expedited 
adoption process for these rules:
Corrects typographical errors, make address or name changes, or 
clarify language of a rule without changing its effect.
Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-
Making Process is Appropriate: The agency is no longer requiring manu-
facturers to label disposable bingo card marketing units with I.D. 
stamps, therefore this requirement needs to be repealed from both WAC 
230-16-125 and 230-16-195 to be consistent with agency practices.
NOTICE
THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROC-
ESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEAR-
INGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE 
RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU 
OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EX-
PRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Jess Lohse,

cluded in the marketing unit.
(3) Manufacturers must mark the specific cards or packets on the 
marketing unit packing slip. Manufacturers may have a margin of error 
up to one percent, as long as they document all missing cards, sheets, 
or packets on the packing slip enclosed in the first container of the 
marketing unit. We prohibit shipping of marketing units with a margin 
of error greater than one percent.
