Joint Administrative Rules Review Committee, Washington State Legislature
The Joint Administrative Rules Review Committee is a standing committee of the Washington State Legislature. This committee reviews both existing and proposed agency rules to see if they reflect the intent of the statute or statutes that they implement. The agency selects the rules they wish to review.[1]
Per Rule 9 of the Joint Rules of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Sixty-Seventh Legislature, joint legislative committees may be created by a concurrent resolution by either the state Senate or the House of Representatives and then passed through a majority vote of both houses.[2] Joint committees have the powers of subpoena, administering oaths, and issuing commissions for the examination of witnesses.[2] Before being able to issue any process, the chairperson of the joint committee must submit a statement of purpose for approval by the rules committees of both the House and the Senate.[2] All meetings held by joint committees must be conducted in accordance with the rules of both the Senate and the House.[3]
