Washington Administrative Code

The Washington Administrative Code (WAC) is a collection of detailed rules and regulations created by government agencies in Washington state to implement laws passed by the legislature. It provides specific guidance on how laws are to be followed, ensuring consistency and clarity in government operations. Think of it as a manual that helps agencies carry out their duties correctly and fairly, covering topics like licensing, safety standards, and environmental protection. The WAC ensures transparency and accountability, making sure public policies are applied uniformly across the state.
