The department of labor and industries is withdrawing the CR-101 Preproposal statement of inquiry for the COVID-19 related relief option, filed on June 1, 2021, and published under WSR 21-12-082. This rule making would have amended chapter 296-17A WAC, Classifications for Washington workers' compensation insurance, and chapter 296-17B WAC, Retrospective rating for workers' compensation insurance.

After analyzing the data as it matured, the anticipated impacts did not materialize and therefore no changes are recommended or required.

If you have any questions, please contact Tracy West, rules coordinator, at 360-902-6954.
