The bill aims to repeal the greenhouse gas content disclosure provision by removing RCW 19.405.070, which pertains to the calculation of greenhouse gas content. This section is entirely repealed, indicating a shift away from the previous requirements for disclosing greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity. Additionally, the bill amends RCW 19.405.020 to update definitions relevant to the chapter, ensuring clarity and consistency in the language used throughout the legislation.

The amendments include various definitions related to energy resources, utilities, and environmental impacts, such as "biomass energy," "greenhouse gas," and "renewable resources." Notably, the bill also modifies the definitions of "low-income" and "retail electric customer," among others, to reflect current standards and practices. These changes are intended to streamline the regulatory framework surrounding energy and environmental policies in Washington State, while also addressing the needs of consumers and utilities in the context of energy assistance and transformation projects.
