The bill seeks to amend various tax and revenue laws in Washington State, focusing on technical corrections, clarifications, and compliance simplifications for taxpayers. It modifies sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), particularly RCW 19.150.060 and RCW 19.150.080, which deal with lien sales and stored property management. Key updates include establishing specific notification timeframes for lien sales, adjusting the property value threshold from "three hundred dollars" to "$300," and providing clearer guidelines for the disposal of personal papers and photographs. Additionally, the bill introduces new requirements for cities regarding the issuance and renewal of general business licenses, ensuring they collaborate with the state department and notify it of any new licensing requirements.

Moreover, the bill revises laws concerning tenant property management, particularly in the event of a tenant's death, mandating landlords to notify relevant parties and providing a framework for the disposal of unclaimed property. It also updates tax-related provisions, including the working families' tax credit and tax deferral eligibility for investment projects, while standardizing numerical representations throughout the legislation. Significant changes include the reduction of tax payment deadlines and the introduction of new definitions and requirements for tax deferrals. The bill aims to streamline the regulatory framework, enhance accountability, and ensure compliance with updated employment and investment standards, while certain sections were vetoed by the Governor due to duplication with other legislation.
