1. (1) The executive ethics board was created by chapter 42.52 RCW to enforce the state's ethics law and rules adopted under it with respect to statewide elected officers and all other officers and employees in the executive branch, boards and commissions, and institutions of higher education.

2. (2) Any person wishing to request access to public records of the executive ethics board, or seeking assistance in making such a request, should contact the public records officer of the executive ethics board:

   Executive Director

   Executive Ethics Board

   2425 Bristol Court S.W.

   P.O. Box 40149

   Olympia, WA 98504-0149

   360-664-0871

   ethics@atg.wa.gov

   Information and a request form is also available at the executive ethics board's website at www.ethics.wa.gov.

3. (3) The public records officer will oversee compliance with the act but another executive ethics board staff member may process the request. Therefore, these rules will refer to the public records officer or "designee."
