Labor & Industries (L&I) is proposing amendments to the electrical rules that would increase fees by the fiscal growth factor of 6.41% for Electrical Program services (WSR 25-05-077). The fee increases are needed to support operating expenses for L&I’s Electrical Program. L&I plans to file a CR-103 Rulemaking Order on May 6, 2025. If adopted, the rule amendments would take effect July 1, 2025.

L&I is also planning to file a CR-101 Preproposal Statement of Inquiry on May 6, 2025, to consider adopting the 2026 edition of the National Electrical Code and for other updates under Chapter 296-46B WAC.

An update on the status of this rulemaking will be provided during the quarterly Electrical Board meeting. You can find information about the Electrical Board here.
