Title 43 - STATE GOVERNMENT — EXECUTIVE
43.330 Department of commerce.
43.330.007 Management responsibility.
RCW 43.330.007 Management responsibility.
(1) The purpose of this chapter is to establish the broad outline of the structure of the department of commerce, leaving specific details of its internal organization and management to those charged with its administration. This chapter identifies the broad functions and responsibilities of the department and is intended to provide flexibility to the director to reorganize these functions to more closely reflect its customers, its mission, and its priorities, and to make recommendations for changes.
(2) In order to generate greater local capacity, maximize results through partnerships and the use of intermediaries, and leverage the use of state resources, the department shall, in carrying out its business assistance and economic development functions, provide business and economic development services primarily through sector-based, cluster-based, and regionally based organizations rather than providing assistance directly to individual firms.
[2010 c 271 § 3; 2009 c 565 § 1; 1993 c 280 § 2.]
