Topic:?Expedited Proposal (CR-105) - Prevailing Wage: Ordinary Maintenance
Brief Description:?The purpose of this expedited proposal is to implement House Bill 1975 (HB 1975) relating to property management services provided to housing authority properties, passed by the Washington state legislature in 2022, and amending RCW 35.82.070. HB 1975 specifies that certain revenues collected by a property management services company from housing project tenants, when used to pay for administrative operating and ordinary maintenance costs, are treated as private funds. HB 1975 also includes a definition of what ?ordinary maintenance? is specific to Housing Authorities. This rulemaking proposes to include this language in WAC 296-127-010, Definitions for chapter 296-127 WAC, to ensure the definition of ?ordinary maintenance? is consistent with the definition in statute.
L&I previously filed expedited rulemaking on June 21, 2022 (WSR 22-13-152), and withdrew it on October 5, 2022 (WSR 22-20-111).
Labor & Industries believes the expedited rulemaking process is appropriate because it implements HB 1975.
