PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
[Filed January 15, 1997, 11:15 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 296-200 WAC, Contractor certificate of registration--Renewals--Security--Insurance.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 18.27.125.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Due to changes in the RCW resulting from the passage of ESSB 2498 (1996), these rules need to be revised. The proposed revisions eliminate gender specific language, rewrite the rules according to clear rule-writing technique, delete references to a $200 appeal bond requirement, modify requirements relating to contractor advertising practices and other revisions deemed necessary by the department. The proposed rules more accurately reflect the statute upon which they are based.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: Not applicable. This subject is solely regulated by the Department of Labor and Industries. No other state or federal agencies are involved.
Process for Developing New Rule: The primary responsibility for developing this rule is the chief compliance construction plumbing specialist with input from major stakeholders.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Kevin Morris, Chief Compliance Construction Plumbing Specialist, Department of Labor and Industries, Construction Compliance and Public Safety Division, P.O. Box 44470, Olympia, WA 98504-4470, phone (360) 902-5578, FAX (360) 902-5292.
