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. Additionally, the bill modifies the numbering of the subsequent powers of the county commissioners, changing the previous item (10) to (11) to accommodate this new provision.

Overall, the legislation expands the responsibilities of county commissioners, allowing them to play a more active role in the administration of state legislative duties. This change aims to streamline the process of swearing in state legislators by enabling local officials to perform this function, thereby enhancing the efficiency of governmental operations at both the county and state levels.
