Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the definitions in this section apply through this chapter.
(1) "Small business" means any business entity, including a sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, that is owned and operated independently from all other businesses, and that has fifty or fewer employees.
(2) "Small business economic impact statement" means a statement meeting the requirements of RCW 19.85.040 prepared by a state agency pursuant to RCW 19.85.030.
(3) "Industry" means all of the businesses in this state in any one four-digit standard industrial classification as published by the United States department of commerce.
