The bill establishes legal education programs at community and technical colleges in Washington State, specifically mandating that Columbia Basin College, Yakima Valley College, and Walla Walla College each offer a prelaw associate's degree program, contingent upon appropriations. This initiative aims to enhance access to legal education in the region.

Additionally, the bill directs the college board to create a program that incentivizes and financially supports community and technical colleges in establishing paralegal education programs approved by the American Bar Association. This program is specifically targeted at areas east of the Cascade Mountains, where such programs are currently unavailable, with the objective of launching one new paralegal program in central Washington and another in eastern Washington, also subject to available funding.
