This bill proposes to amend RCW 2.08.063 to increase the number of superior court judges in Skagit County from four to five. This change reflects the growing judicial needs of the county and aims to enhance the efficiency of the court system in the region.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that if specific funding for its implementation is not allocated by June 30, 2025, in the omnibus appropriations act, the act will become null and void. This ensures that the addition of the new judge is contingent upon the availability of financial resources to support the position.
