PERMANENT RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

LABOR AND INDUSTRIES

[ Filed May 22, 2007, 8:52 a.m. , effective June 30, 2007 ]


     Effective Date of Rule: June 30, 2007.

     Purpose: Why is this rule making being adopted? The purpose of this rule making is to increase fees 3.38%, which is the office of financial management's maximum allowable fiscal growth rate factor for fiscal year 2007. We evaluated the programs' budgets and projected revenue and determined fee increases are necessary to help cover the cost of ongoing services of the contractor registration, elevator, factory-assembled structures, and plumber certification programs. The electrical program determined a fee increase is not necessary this year.

     What changes will be adopted? Fee changes by 3.38%, the fiscal growth rate factor for fiscal year 2007, for contractor registration, elevator, factory-assembled structures, and plumber certification programs.

     Related issues: No related issues. The fees are increased on an annual basis.

     Stakeholder comments to date: All affected boards and advisory committees were notified of fee increases and are supportive of the changes.
