CR-102 Proposal
Proposal Language
Division:?Fraud Prevention and Labor Standards (Prevailing Wage Program)
Topic:?Expedited Proposal (CR-105) ? Prevailing Wage - Intents and Affidavits (2SSB 5268 Implementation)
Brief Description:?Second Substitute Senate Bill 5268 (2SSB 5268), from the 2023 legislative session, modifies the statute related to small works roster and limited public works requirements. The amendment to RCW 39.12.040, Statement of Intent to Pay Prevailing Wages, changes the threshold amount for awarding agencies wanting to utilize the alternate filing procedures (combined intent & affidavit form) on public works projects up to $5,000 from the current $2,500, effective July 1, 2024.
The purpose of this expedited rulemaking is to update the threshold amount in WAC 296-127-050 from the $2,500 threshold used by awarding agencies of the alternate filing procedures (combined intent & affidavit form) on public works projects, to be consistent with recent changes to RCW 39.12.040. In order to avoid future rulemaking if the amounts are changed in statue in the future, L&I is proposing to remove the dollar amounts in rule and cross reference directly to the statute (RCW 39.12.040).
L&I is using expedited rulemaking because the proposed amendments change the threshold on the use of the alternate filing procedures (combined intent & affidavit form) on public works projects without material change as required under RCW 39.12.040.
