WITHDRAWAL OF
PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
[Filed June 21, 2022, 11:31 a.m.]
The department of labor and industries (L&I) is withdrawing the CR-101 Preproposal statement of inquiry regarding definition of ordinary maintenance (WAC 296-127-010 prevailing wage definitions rules), filed on February 16, 2022, and published under WSR 22-05-099.
In February, L&I filed a CR-101 to begin considering changes to the definition of "ordinary maintenance" in WAC 296-127-101, including "ordinary maintenance" specific to work on residential properties owned by housing authorities. Shortly after, the legislature passed HB 1975 relating to property management services provided to housing authority properties; amending RCW
35.82.070. Now that HB 1975 has passed, and includes clearer definitions of what "ordinary maintenance" includes specific to housing authorities in statute, L&I plans to adopt this language in WAC 296-127-010 through the expedited rule-making process, in accordance with RCW
34.05.353 (1)(b).
