The hearing will start at 10:00 a.m. and continue until all oral comments are received.

L&I encourages the submittal of written comments, due by 5:00 p.m. on September 24, 2024.

The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement clear rule writing to ensure staff and customers can easily understand and apply the workers’ compensation insurance classification and reporting rules. L&I also reviewed this chapter for need, clarity, and consistency to make changes where possible to reduce the regulatory burden on employers insured with the State Fund. L&I is required by law to establish and maintain a workers’ compensation classification plan that classifies all occupations or industries in accordance with their degree of hazard and in a manner consistent with recognized insurance principles (RCW 51.16.035). Some classifications were amended to increase ease of reporting, and ensure consistent and equitable treatment to businesses.
