Proposed Emergency Rule-making – August 2020
Columbia Basin College filed an emergency rule to create a new WAC, Chapter 132S-110,
Title IX Hearing Procedure For Students, with changes recently enacted through federal
Title IX regulations. Columbia Basin College is required by the United States Department
of Education to comply with the recently adopted Title IX regulations, which take
effect on August 14, 2020. Emergency rules bypass the preproposal and proposal notices
and the public hearing, which are requirements for permanent rules. The first step
in the emergency rulemaking process is filing a Emergency Rule (CR-103E), which was
filed on August 14, 2020 and can be viewed below. This Rules Coordination page will
be updated as the rulemaking process proceeds with the filing of the required forms.
Since emergency rules are only valid for 120 days, the College will initiate the permanent
rule-making process.

Chapter 132S-110 WAC, Title IX Hearing Procedure
Proposed Rulemaking – September 2020
Columbia Basin College is proposing amendments to its rules to provide clarity to
the processes for the Student Conduct Code, as well as other amendments to established
rules for parking and traffic regulations, to eliminate gender-specific references
with gender-neutral alternatives and to repeal the Non-Discrimination and Harassment
Policy and Procedure (already captured in a College Operations Policy). The first
step in the rulemaking process is filing a Pre-Proposal (CR 101), which was filed
on May 26, 2020 and can be viewed below. This Rules Coordination page will be updated
as the rulemaking process proceeds with the filing of the required forms.
