   2. (ii) An order has been issued immediately restraining an employer's condition, practice, method, process, or means in the workplace pursuant to RCW 49.30.060 and this chapter or RCW 49.17.130 or 49.17.170.
   3. (b) Following a revocation under this subsection, a minor work permit endorsement may not be reissued to an employer unless the employer has not been issued a citation for any violations of the provisions identified in (a)(i) of this subsection for at least 12 months.

2. (2) The department may refuse to issue or renew, revoke, suspend, or modify an employer's minor work permit endorsements if it finds:

   1. (a) A condition related to the permit's issuance has not been satisfied;
   2. (b) The employer violated any requirements of this chapter; or
