If you work in the bail bond industry in Washington, understanding WAC 308-19-420 proceedings is essential. These legal processes determine whether you keep or lose your professional license. At Blanford Law, we help clients navigate these proceedings to protect their careers and livelihoods.
What Are WAC 308-19-420 Proceedings?
WAC 308-19-420 proceedings are brief adjudicative processes governed by Washington State law. They apply to bail bond agents, recovery agents, and related licensing issues. The Department of Licensing (DOL) uses this process to quickly resolve licensing disputes, including:
- License approvals or denials
- Suspensions or revocations
- Compliance and regulatory issues
Understanding this process is critical if your ability to work depends on maintaining a valid license.
How WAC 308-19-420 Proceedings Work
These proceedings involve several important steps:
- Presiding Officer Review: A designated official evaluates the case.
- Written Documentation: You must submit relevant documents supporting your position.
- Oral Arguments: Sometimes, the presiding officer allows oral presentations to clarify facts.
- Initial Order Issued: The officer issues an initial decision, which can be appealed if necessary.
Responding promptly and thoroughly during each phase is vital to protecting your professional interests.

At Blanford Law, we help clients:
