No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rule corrects a typographical error and does not [impose] costs on small businesses.
These changes are improvements for clarity and do not have an economic impact to small businesses or small nonprofits compared to current rules for these facilities.
RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. The department finds that this rule does not meet the definition of a significant legislative rule in RCW 34.05.328 (5)(c)(iii), and the provisions of this statute do not apply.
