Summary of proposed rule
The Department is considering rule changes to WAC chapter 220-120 (Public Records). The purpose of the proposed rule is to provide guidance to the public concerning the costs of providing public records on the body worn camera's in use by the WDFW law enforcement officers. It will also clarify administrative procedures that will not change the effect of the current rule.
Scope and rationale for proposed rule
The department needs to amend and update rules in WAC chapter 220-120 to accommodate the recent implementation of the department’s use of body-worn cameras by the WDFW Enforcement Program and other administrative requirements. The department previously undertook a Fee Study in 2024 to research the reasonable costs for producing records requested.
