The rule writing process is open to you as the public. You are welcome to take part in helping us write rules. Rules are also known as regulations, Washington Administrative Code, or WAC. The rule-making process includes public notices and workshops, and usually a public hearing before a rule becomes final.

Current Rules in Progress
AIT program, AIT preceptor requirements and Endorsement
The board is considering adopting the national AIT program to make it easier
for applicants and to align with other states. In addition, the endorsement rule currently requires that all initial requirements of licensure must be met, which does not align with RCW 18.130.077. The board will consider what amendments are needed to align with the statute.
