The purpose of this rulemaking is to propose amendments to the Contractor Registration fees under WAC 296-200A-900. The proposed amendments would increase fees by the fiscal growth factor of 6.41% to cover operating expenses for L&I’s Contractor Registration Program. This is the Office of Financial Management’s maximum allowable fiscal growth factor rate for fiscal year 2026. The Contractor Registration Program registers contractors to ensure that all general and specialty contractors operating in Washington State have appropriate bonding and insurance. The current fee levels are insufficient to cover current Program expenses. The fee increase is necessary to ensure that revenues match expenditures.
