How do I get a regulation changed in my state?
<p>I am looking to request a change in Washington States cryptocurrency regulations. Where would I start and at what point if any does a petition become important?</p>

<p>For the most part, you cannot influence <a href="http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?Cite=208-690" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the actual regulations</a>. If you dislike the <a href="http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=208-690-036" rel="nofollow noreferrer">authorized delegate advertising regulation</a>, you would have to undermine the underlying statutory authority, <a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=43.320.040" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RCW 43.320.040</a> and <a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=19.230.310" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RCW 19.230.310</a>. The legislature can change those laws, so write to the legislature; or, you can change the law via the initiative process which is where you get a petition going. The Dept. of Finance writes these rules in accordance with what the statutes say. The <a href="http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2017-18/Pdf/Bills/Session%20Laws/Senate/5031-S.SL.pdf?cite=2017%20c%2030%20%C2%A7%201;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">laws were changed</a> a year ago; it is not clear whether there are any unimplemented parts of the new law where the regulations haven't yet been written. DoF has a <a href="https://dfi.wa.gov/agency-rulemaking" rel="nofollow noreferrer">page on rulemaking</a> indicating recently-adopted rules and open rules. <a href="https://dfi.wa.gov/rulemaking/municipal-securities-exemption" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This</a> is a proposed rule pertaining to municipal securities and registration: there do not seem to be any open regulations regarding cryptocurrency.</p>
