“The department may adopt and enforce all rules which it finds necessary or suitable to carry out this chapter.”
Estimate of amount of time that state employees will spend developing the rule and other resources necessary to develop the rule.
The estimated time is 160 hours.
List with description of all entities that may be affected by the proposed rule.
The proposed rule may affect construction employers and employers primarily engaged in agricultural production, agricultural services, forestry, or commercial fishing, hunting or trapping. There is not expected to be an adverse impact on business or local government because the department may already designate an employer in these categories regardless of SIC codes.
For the minor and technical rule revisions, the changes may affect employees and employers.
Summary and preliminary comparison with any existing or proposed federal regulation that is intended to address the activities to be regulated by the proposed rule.
Federal law requires that state law conform to and comply with federal regulations. See 20 C.F.R. § 601.5. Anticipated economic impact of implementing the rule (note if the rule is likely to have an economic impact on small businesses).
The proposed rule is not expected to have an economic impact to any business or small business.
Approval of the agency head or authorized individual:
