AI Summary
This bill modernizes communication methods for the Department of Labor and Industries (LNI) by allowing for electronic notifications and other trackable communication methods, in addition to traditional mail, when sending official notices, orders, or penalties to individuals and businesses. It also introduces a requirement for LNI to offer recipients the option to receive communications through non-electronic means before first using electronic methods. The bill amends numerous Revised Code of Washington (RCW) sections across various chapters related to contractors, plumbing, electrical work, manufactured homes, wage and hour laws, workplace safety (including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA), asbestos abatement, and workers' compensation, to implement these updated communication protocols and make other minor adjustments.
