    On page 2, line 27, after "(2)" insert "No more than two independent contractors, as covered by subsection (1) of this section, may be under contract at the same time.  It is not a violation of this act, if more than two independent contractors work on or in a single building if proof is provided, both in written contract and in fact, that any independent contractors beyond the first two are not working as independent contractors during the same time period.

    (3) The exemptions provided by subsection (2) of this section are broad and in no way exempt independent contractors from industrial insurance coverage under Title 51 RCW.  Each and every independent contractor must separately pass the tests provided in RCW 51.08.180 or 51.08.181 to be exempt from coverage under Title 51 RCW."

Renumber the remaining subsections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
