The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend Chapter 296-155 WAC, Part L, to implement the requirements of Sections of 4 and 6 of Second Substitute House Bill 2022 (Chapter 311, Laws of 2024) codified under RCW 49.17.435 and 49.17.440. Labor & Industries must establish, by rule, a permit for the performance of any work involving the operation, assembly, disassembly, or reconfiguration of a tower crane.
