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 renumbers the existing provisions, changing the previous item (10) to (11) to accommodate this new insertion.
Overall, the legislation expands the responsibilities of county commissioners, allowing them to play a more active role in the administration of state legislative duties by enabling them to administer oaths. This change is intended to streamline the process and enhance the collaboration between county and state officials.
