Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 42 Public Officers And Agencies - Section 42.36.090 Participation of challenged member of decision-making body

§ 42.36.090. Participation of challenged member of decision-making body

In the event of a challenge to a member or members of a decision-making body which would cause a lack of a quorum or would result in a failure to obtain a majority vote as required by law, any such challenged member(s) shall be permitted to fully participate in the proceeding and vote as though the challenge had not occurred, if the member or members publicly disclose the basis for disqualification prior to rendering a decision. Such participation shall not subject the decision to a challenge by reason of violation of the appearance of fairness doctrine.
