The purpose of this rulemaking is to adopt amendments to the definitions for amusement rides or structures under WAC 296-403A-100. L&I accepted a rulemaking petition to amend the definition of “Amusement structure” to exclude fixed artificial climbing surfaces built for the sport of rock climbing, including equipment used for climber education and safety, when not located on the same premises as amusement rides or amusement structures. This rulemaking adopts amendments from the petitioner’s request. The amendments are necessary to ensure the definitions clearly define the types of structures that are regulated as amusement rides. Additional amendments to WAC 296-403A-100 are also being adopted to bring the rule up-to-date.
