Public feedback session on potential agency request legislation and rule changes
-
On behalf of the Gambling Commission, we invite you to participate in a public feedback session on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
The purpose of this session is to gather feedback on potential agency-request legislation (ARL) topics the Commission may consider for the 2027 legislative session and rule amendments.
We welcome your ideas and perspectives on ARL and the rulemaking process. Legislative and Rules Manager Tricia Gullion will provide an overview of concepts currently under consideration.
Please note that this meeting is intended as an early-stage discussion. Draft bill language will not be available; the focus will be on brainstorming and identifying potential priorities.
Additionally at this meeting, we will ask for feedback on three rule changes.
They are the following:
- Self-dealing Poker Table
- Increasing the prize threshold for when pan-tilt-zoom cameras are required to verify winning hands, amounts of the wager, amounts of the pay out and players who have won the prize.
- Increasing prize threshold for when surveillance rooms need to retain camera views for thirty days.
We will not have draft rule language. This meeting is intended as an early-stage discussion. The focus will be feedback on the topics proposed.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, you may provide comment on our website: Request for public comment | Washington State Gambling Commission
We appreciate your time and look forward to your input.
