WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS
Friday, February 7 marked the first critical hurdle of the session, the deadline for bills to pass out of the policy committees in their house of origin. Any policy bills left in committee Friday evening are considered dead for the session, though no idea is really ever lifeless until the Legislature adjourns for the year. Tuesday, February 11 is the cutoff for bills to pass fiscal committees, however a large number of these bills could ultimately be considered necessary to implement the budget, breathing life into them for the rest of the session.
In the area of clean air and climate change -- several bills survived the cut-off date and are being negotiated. These include HB 2311 -- reducing greenhouse gas emissions targets for the state to achieve net zero more quickly, and HB 2892/SB 6628 -- legislation to give the Department of Ecology the ability to do the Clear Air Rule that was tossed out by the State Supreme Court. All are still alive and are looking like they will be the big climate bills of the session. HB 2892 and SB 6628 look to be going in very different directions and both have become bigger and more problematic, in their own ways. Amendments to HB 2892 now included electrical generation as one of the "indirect emissions" being covered by the bill and another amendment gave local air authorities the ability to regulate emitters in addition to the Department of Ecology. SB 6628, meanwhile, attempts to integrate the Clear Air Rule into CETA and provides some direction for Ecology to create a program with the lowest compliance cost possible. It also references the statute that HB 2311 would update and ties that to rulemaking, putting teeth into the steep reduction targets established by HB 2311. Finally, despite there being a likely fiscal impact due to the rulemaking required by Ecology, this bill did not go to Senate Ways and Means, but instead passed directly to Senate Rules.
Labor Issues
SB 2409 - Concerning industrial insurance employer penalties, duties, and the licensing of third party administrators. This bill would have an impact on all employers. The substitute changes the new fiduciary duty to a responsibility of fair conduct, removes elements of a violation of the duty and applies the responsibility of employers and their representatives instead of employers and their lay representatives. Enforcement of this vague standard would be adjudicated by the Department and be subject to a penalty.
SB 6440 - Concerning industrial insurance medical examinations. The bill was modifed in committee. The substitute would limit worker's compensation medical exams requested by the Department of Labor and Industries or the self-insurer to certain purposes. Allow an attending physician to obtain a specialist to resolve an issue before an exam in order to resolve a stalled treatment plan. Allow a worker to record the exam. Limit the location of the exam and the time period to complete the exam. Require the examiner to retain certain records and information and be available for testimony. Establish a work group to develop strategies, consider issues, and make recommendations regarding IME use. This bill will likely result in fewer IME doctors being available and making the cost of the claim increase. It was hoped that the bill would be amended to a study. That did not happen. The bill was headed to Senate Ways & Means, but was diverted to Senate Rules.
SB 6552 - Eliminating the three-day waiting period for receiving industrial insurance compensation. Removes the three-day waiting period that a worker may not receive workers' compensation benefits unless the disability continues for 14 consecutive calendar days. A hearing was held in the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee on January 28. A proposed amendment is expencted. The amended bill would keep the 3-day waiting period, but would change the requirement to pay the 3-days after 14-days on time loss to only 7-days on time loss. Waiting periods and retroactive periods are common in workers' compensation; all 50 states have them. Washington already has a lentient system with a 3 day waiting/14 day retroactive setup. This is consistent with the Federal Employees' Compensation Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act and twenty-five other states. Eight states have a 21 day waiting period, two are at 28 days, two are at 42 days. Nobody is less than 14 days.
