     AN ACT Relating to small business economic impact statements; and amending RCW 19.85.020.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

Sec. 1   RCW 19.85.020 and 1994 c 249 s 10 are each amended to read as follows:
     Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the definitions in this section apply through this chapter.
     (1) "Small business" means any business entity, including a sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, that is owned and operated independently from all other businesses, ((that has the purpose of making a profit,)) and that has fifty or fewer employees.
     (2) "Small business economic impact statement" means a statement meeting the requirements of RCW 19.85.040 prepared by a state agency pursuant to RCW 19.85.030.
     (3) "Industry" means all of the businesses in this state in any one four-digit standard industrial classification as published by the United States department of commerce. However, if the use of a four- digit standard industrial classification would result in the release of data that would violate state confidentiality laws, "industry" means all businesses in a three-digit standard industrial classification.
