The bill amends RCW 36.32.120 to grant county commissioners the authority to administer oaths of office to state legislators. This addition is marked by the insertion of the phrase "and to administer oaths of office to state legislators" into the existing legal framework. The bill also includes a reorganization of the subsections, changing the numbering of the existing provisions to accommodate the new insertion.
In addition to the new authority granted to county commissioners, the bill maintains the existing responsibilities of county legislative authorities, which include managing county property, fixing tax rates, and enforcing regulations. The changes aim to streamline the process of administering oaths for state legislators at the county level, thereby enhancing the efficiency of local governance.
