The purpose of this rulemaking is to propose amendments to the electrical rule, Chapter 296-46B WAC, that would increase fees by the fiscal growth factor of 6.41% for electrical inspections and other Electrical Program services. The fee increase is the maximum allowed by the state Office of Financial Management for fiscal year 2026. The fee increase is necessary to cover increased operating expenses for the Electrical Program. The current fee levels are insufficient to cover current Program expenses. The fee increase would ensure that revenues match expenditures.
