Operative words
Proclamation 20-05 is amended to waive specific statutes [relating to in-person Department of Licensing eye examinations and renewals]... 1. RCW 46.20.130(1)(a) in its entirety, effective immediately. 2. RCW 46.20.120(3)(b) (waiving and suspending only ', if permitted by rule of the [department]'...), effective beginning March 23, 2020.

Notes
The DOL closed its driver licensing offices to walk-in service in March 2020 and moved licensing online; this proclamation waived the in-person statutes that made that possible (see also 20-41, license renewal extensions, and 20-48, CDL medical certificates).
Retrieval noteThe proclamation's recitals and 20-15.12's recital ('statutes relating to in-person Department of Licensing eye examinations and renewals') are the primary record.
