This bill proposes to increase the number of superior court judges in Skagit County from four to five, as outlined in the amendment to RCW 2.08.063. This change aims to enhance the judicial capacity in the county, addressing the growing needs of the legal 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.
