We collaborated with a number of state agencies over the past few months to develop a draft scope of potential changes. We will work with local governments and Tribes over the summer to refine the scope.  We welcome comments on the draft scope, and will consider your feedback as we finalize the scope. We will begin releasing recommended changes to the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) later in the calendar year, and anticipate holding a public hearing next spring.
