The bill aims to eliminate the expiration date of the interagency, multijurisdictional system improvement team, known as SYNC, which was initially established to enhance coordination among state infrastructure programs. The team, comprising representatives from various state departments, is tasked with identifying and implementing system improvements that maximize state investments, minimize costs, and ensure long-term resilience for communities. The bill recognizes the importance of SYNC's ongoing work, particularly in reaching out to distressed and rural communities, and mandates a progress report on the team's activities before each fiscal biennium.

Key amendments to existing law include the reenactment and amendment of RCW 43.155.150, which outlines the responsibilities and composition of the system improvement team. Notably, the bill changes the reporting deadline from September 1, 2022, to November 1, 2026, and specifies that the team must submit a biennial report detailing funded projects, coordination efforts with other grant programs, and regional planning activities. Additionally, the previous expiration date of June 30, 2025, has been removed, allowing the team to continue its work indefinitely. The act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, or safety, and is set to take effect on June 30, 2025.
