AI Summary
This bill modernizes communication methods for the Department of Labor and Industries (LNI) by allowing for electronic notifications and service of documents, while still providing the option for traditional nonelectronic methods. It amends numerous Revised Code of Washington (RCW) sections across various chapters related to contractors, plumbing, electrical work, manufactured homes, wage and hour laws, safety regulations, and workers' compensation. Key changes include enabling LNI to send notices, citations, and other official communications via electronic means that can be tracked or confirmed, provided individuals are given the option to receive them nonelectronically before electronic methods are used for the first time. This modernization aims to streamline LNI's operations and improve efficiency in its interactions with businesses and individuals.
