The bill amends RCW 72.09.080 to modify the composition and appointment process 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, as defined in RCW 43.18A.010. Additionally, the committee will include nonvoting legislative members appointed by the speaker of the house and the president of the senate, who will serve two-year terms.

The bill also outlines the terms of service for committee members, stating that all voting members will serve staggered three-year terms. It ensures that the committee will elect its own chair and other officers, and it provides for compensation and reimbursement for travel expenses for voting members. The secretary is tasked with providing necessary staff services, facilities, and equipment to support the committee's functions.
