MEMORANDUM REGARDING
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
REQUIREMENTS
FROM: Dennis Eagle, Director of Legislative and Political Action
Previous to each session of the Washington State Legislature questions are raised
concerning the rights of state employees to contact their legislators. This session
is no exception and, in order to clear up any questions, we have prepared the fol-
lowing statement that outlines the legal rights of employees in such matters:
At the request of several members and staff, we have contacted the Public
Disclosure Commission regarding the obligations of a state employee to
report contact with legislators.
A state employee who writes, phones, or in some way contacts his/her own
legislators, or other legislators on matters of concern to him/her as a con-
stituent and/or citizen is not obligated to report that contact.
The only obligation an employee has to report contact with individual leg-
islators may occur when that employee contacts legislators on an official
matter where the state employee is acting on behalf of his/her employing
agency and on official agency matters, or where a legislator contacts an
employee under the same circumstances. Where an employee has contact
with legislators under these circumstances the employee should check with
his/her supervisor on any reporting requirements.
It should be clearly understood that a citizen who happens to be employed
by the state is free to express his/her right to contact his/her legislators or
other legislators, at any level (local/county/state/federal) and express his/
her concerns, comments or opinions on legislative matters.
We remind you that when you contact legislators, you must do it on your
own time and not using any state resources. Phone calls should be from
your personal phone. E-mails should be from home computers.
I hope this is helpful in answering any questions. If you need additional informa-
tion, please feel free to give me a call at 1-800-562-6002.

1. Invest yourself in campaigns for WFSE/
AFSCME-supported candidates in your area.
2. Interim meetings with legislators are far more
effective than meetings during session.
3. Invite your legislators to a local meeting or to
your worksite when they are not in session.
4. Be prepared for the long haul; major challeng-
es can take years to pass.
5. To be effective, you must have a sustained
presence.
