On page 4, line 27, after "(a)" strike all material through "period" on line 32 and insert "Rules providing standards may only be adopted for industries or risk classifications where:
(i) Compensable workers' compensation claims involved musculoskeletal injuries and disorders at a rate greater than two times the overall state workers' compensation compensable claim rate for musculoskeletal injuries and disorders over a recent five-year period; and
(ii) The rate for the industry or risk classification has not decreased each year over a recent five-year period prior to the department beginning the rule-making process"
EFFECT: Allows for L&I to adopt rules for the industries or risk classifications only if the rate for the industry or risk classification has not decreased each year over a recent five-year period prior to the department beginning the rule-making process, in addition to the requirement that the rate be two times the state rate.
