Division: Field Services and Public Safety (Elevator Program)

Topic: Proposal (CR-102) – Elevator Fees Increase (FY26)

Brief Description: The purpose of this rulemaking is to propose a 6.41% fee increase for inspections of conveyances and other Elevator Program services under Chapter 296-96 WAC, Safety regulations and fees for all elevators, dumbwaiters, escalators and other conveyances. This is the Office of Financial Management’s maximum allowable fiscal growth factor rate for fiscal year 2026. The fee increases are necessary to support the operating expenses of the Elevator Program, as current fee levels are not adequate to cover current Program expenses. Additional amendments are also proposed to reorganize the existing fees for permits and inspections into a combined fee schedule to make the fees easier to locate.

Public hearing date: July 8, 2025 (Tumwater/virtual/phone) [ [link removed] ]
Written comments due by: July 8, 2025, 5:00 p.m.
Intended adoption date: September 2, 2025

Division: Fraud Prevention and Labor Standards (Prevailing Wage Program)

Topic: Preproposal (CR-101) – Prevailing Wage: Multiple CBAs and Dispute Resolution Process

Brief Description: The purpose of this rulemaking is to consider establishing an interested-party dispute resolution process that L&I would engage when determining appropriate collective bargaining agreements (CBA’s) to establish a prevailing wage rate for a trade and occupation in a county. Amendments to Chapter 296-127 WAC, Prevailing Wage, are needed for a clear process to establish rates as well as a process for dispute resolution. A clear process for establishing the relevant CBAs for a given occupation as well as resolving disputes will benefit stakeholders by providing consistency and transparency.
