Petition for Rulemaking

You may petition a state agency to adopt, repeal, or amend a rule within its authority. The petition process is described in RCW 34.05.330 and chapter 82-05 WAC.

The petition form describes the information that must be included in a petition, as required by WAC 82-05-020. Once we receive that information, we will review your request within the timelines described in RCW 34.05.330(1). We have 60 days to respond to a petition.

We may take one of the following actions after we receive a petition:

• Deny the request and explain our reasons
• Describe alternative steps we will take
• Initiate rulemaking
   

If we deny your petition, you may appeal our decision to the Governor. If we initiate rulemaking based on your petition, the rulemaking process will begin.
