2013 Electrical Rule Development
Potential Rulemaking - Expansion of Maintenance Specialty to Include Installation of Temporary Load Test Equipment and Cabling.
The Department filed a CR 101 pre-proposal statement of inquiry with the Office of the Code Reviser on May 21, 2013 in anticipation of the possibility of a rule change proposal from the generator maintenance industry to expand the allowed work scope of 07 nonresidential maintenance specialty electricians. This potential rulemaking could amend or add new language in WAC 296-46B 920 to allow the 07 nonresidential maintenance specialty the ability to connect load banks and their associated cables.
