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 under Chapter 296-17A WAC.

The purpose of this rulemaking is not to make substantive changes to how employers are classified and amendments will not increase employer rates.
