Subject of Possible Rule Making: The department is considering a possible fee increase for the following rules: Contractor registration (chapter 296-200A WAC, Contractor certificate of registration renewals—Security—Insurance); elevators (chapter 296-96 WAC, Safety regulations and fees for all elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and other conveyances); and factory assembled structures (chapter 296-150C WAC, Commercial coaches; chapter 296-150F WAC, Factory-built housing and commercial structures; chapter 296-150I WAC, Manufactured home installer training and certification program; chapter 296-150M WAC, Manufactured homes; chapter 296-150P WAC, Recreational park trailers; chapter 296-150R WAC, Recreational vehicles; chapter 296-150T WAC, Factory-built temporary worker housing structures; and chapter 296-150V WAC, Conversion vendor units and medical units).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The purpose of this rule making is to consider increasing fees by 4.00 percent (office of financial management's maximum allowable fiscal growth factor for fiscal year 2019) for the contractor registration, elevator, and factory assembled structures programs. The department evaluated the programs' budgets and projected revenue and determined fee increases are necessary to help cover the cost of ongoing services.
