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, but they cannot be currently incarcerated. Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement for the committee to include representatives from labor, business, and the general public, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives.

The bill also outlines the terms of service for committee members, stating that each voting member will serve a three-year staggered term, while legislative members will serve two-year terms. It provides for the election of a chair and other officers from among the voting members and stipulates that all voting members will receive compensation and reimbursement for travel expenses. The secretary is tasked with providing necessary staff services and resources to support the committee's functions.
