The public hearing will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will continue until all oral comments are received.

L&I encourages the submittal of written comments, due by 5:00 p.m. on March 12, 2026.

The purpose of this rulemaking is to adopt 6.51% fee increases to L&I’s public safety program rules for Contractor Registration, Electrical, Elevator, Factory Assembled Structures, and Plumbers. This is the Office of Financial Management’s maximum allowable fiscal growth factor rate for fiscal year 2027. The fee increases are needed to support operating expenses for program services, as current fee levels are not adequate to cover current program expenses. This rulemaking also corrects a fee error in the electrical rules due to a mathematical error from a previous rulemaking.
