THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, 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 EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Connie Goff, Office of the State Human Resources Director, Office of Financial Management (OFM), 521 Capitol Way South, Olympia, WA 98504 , AND RECEIVED BY January 23, 2012.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: These changes are a result of the passage of ESSB 6503. This bill required immediate action to reduce expenditures during the 2009-2011 fiscal biennium. It was the intent of this bill that state agencies of the legislative branch, judicial branch, and executive branch including institutions of higher education, shall achieve a reduction in government operating expenses as provided in the bill. For some state employers this meant implementing temporary layoffs. There are provisions in the bill which required us to make changes to the temporary layoff rules in order to implement temporary layoffs as described in the bill.
These rules were originally filed correctly as CR-102 under WSR 10-20-176 on October 6, 2010. However, on November 10, 2010, when the permanent adoption was filed under WSR 10-23-040, the wrong drafts of these six rules were inadvertently filed.
Since the language that was inadvertently left out of WAC 357-31-010, 357-31-120, 357-31-180, and 357-31-175 pertained to Higher Education Institutions we contacted the institutions and determined that there has not been a temporary layoff implemented which applied to nonrepresented employees since these rules were adopted in December 2010. The language that was left off of the other WACs (WAC 357-46-067 and 357-58-554), was language that was stated in ESSB 6503 therefore was still in effect even though it was not in the civil service rule.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Kristie Wilson, 521 Capitol Way South, Olympia, WA 98504, (360) 664-6408; Implementation and Enforcement: OFM.
