A third-party tester may petition the department for a waiver of the skill examination fee ceiling imposed by WAC 308-100-180 (Third-party testing fee). The third-party tester shall indicate the amount of the proposed fee, the location of the test and provide detailed justification for the increase. The department may grant the higher fee, provided that the service cannot be performed within a reasonable time by another tester at the standard fee. The department will review any complaints regarding higher fees, and may impose a reduction where warranted.
