The Department of Labor & Industries filed a CR-102 proposed rulemaking to amend chapter 296-14 WAC with the Office of the Code Reviser.
The proposed rulemaking adds a class of workers to the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presumption law. The purpose of the proposed rule is to explain when a presumption of PTSD exists for certain direct care registered nurses as provided by RCW 51.08.142 and RCW 51.32.395.
