		Transient Accommodations Rules: These rules are available on the Code Revisers Website (Washington State Legislature Website). Chapter 70.62 RCW Transient Accommodations - Licensing - Inspections The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) is the law. The legislature passed it and the governor signed it. The legislature passed the RCW in 1971 and the last changed it in 1994. The Transient Accommodations law creates legal requirements that lodging facilities must meet. The law applies to the licensees and the Department of Health. This section contains the full Revised Code of Washington. DOH has no control over the content of the RCW. Only the legislature can change it. Chapter 246-360 WAC Regulations for Transient Accommodations The complete set of new rules for TA's is in this section. The State Board of Health approves all Washington Administrative Code (WAC's) (usually called just "rules") and DOH publishes them. They have the same status as law. The rules exist because the RCW tells the Board and DOH to create them. The rules go into detail about specific requirements, so they are most important to an operator's day-to-day business. We developed the rules with input from the lodging industry and other interested parties.
