PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
[Filed January 5, 2016, 11:44 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 296-127-01366 Ready mix truck drivers.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Chapter 39.12 RCW.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The proposed rule will adopt a new rule as a prevailing wage scope of work description for ready mix truck drivers. This trade and occupation classification has not previously had any scope of work description but does have published prevailing rates of wage. Prior to 2000, the prevailing wage scope of work descriptions (if any) were promulgated by the industrial statistician on an as needed basis (and not adopted as administrative rule). No scope was promulgated for ready mix truck drivers.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: The department will develop the rule language with input from the prevailing wage advisory committee and other interested stakeholders. Stakeholders interested in this rule may contact the individual listed below. After the proposed rule is filed, all interested stakeholders can provide written comments and/or testimony during the public hearing and comment period.
For more information on this rule making, visit labor and industries' laws and rules web site at http://www.lni.wa.gov/LawRule/ or contact the individual below.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Beverly Clark, Department of Labor and Industries, Fraud Prevention and Labor Standards Division, P.O.
