NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OPINION
WASHINGTON ATTORNEY GENERAL

               The Washington Attorney General routinely publishes notice of an opportunity to comment for opinion requests that we receive from the heads of state agencies, state legislators, and county prosecuting attorneys if we anticipate publishing a formal opinion in response to the request. We do so in order to provide members of the public with a chance to provide any legal analysis that they would like us to consider as we develop our opinion. In preparing any comments, please be aware that our opinion will provide our considered legal analysis of the question presented, and therefore comments that address the interpretation of the law are more helpful than comments that express an opinion as to what the law should be.
 
            If you are interested in commenting on a request listed in this volume of the register, you should notify the Attorney General’s Office of your interest by October 9, 2019. This is not the due date by which comments must be received, and we will consider any comments we receive before we complete our opinion. However, if you do not notify the Attorney General’s Office of your interest in commenting on an opinion request by this date, the opinion may be issued before your comments have been received. You may notify the Attorney General’s Office of your intention to comment by e-mail to OpinionComments@atg.wa.gov or by writing to the Office of the Attorney General, Solicitor General Division, Attention Opinions Chief, P.O. Box 40100, Olympia, Washington 98504-0100. When you notify the office of your intention to comment, you may be provided with a copy of the opinion request in which you are interested, information about the Attorney General’s Opinion process, information on how to submit your comments, and a due date by which your comments must be received to ensure that they are fully considered.
 
            The Attorney General’s Office seeks public input on the following opinion request:
 
Opinion Docket No. 19-09-01
