The bill amends RCW 72.09.080 to modify the composition of the correctional industries advisory committee. It establishes that the committee will consist of 11 voting members, with nine appointed by the secretary and two appointed by the governor. The bill specifies that the two members appointed by the governor must come from underrepresented populations and have direct lived experience, although they cannot be currently incarcerated. Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for the speaker of the house and the president of the senate to each appoint one nonvoting member from the two largest caucuses in their respective houses.

The bill also outlines the terms of service for committee members, stating that voting members will serve three-year staggered terms while legislative members will serve two-year terms. It ensures that all voting members receive compensation and reimbursement for travel expenses. The secretary is tasked with providing necessary staff services, facilities, and equipment to support the committee's functions.
