The bill amends existing law regarding the filing of a notice of intention with a boundary review board in Washington State. It establishes that the effective filing date for such a notice is determined by either the chief clerk's determination of sufficiency or by the notice being deemed sufficient after a specified period. The chief clerk is required to assess the sufficiency of the notice within 30 days of receipt, and if the notice is found insufficient, it must be returned for corrections, which will be reviewed within 14 days of resubmission. If the chief clerk fails to make a determination within the established timeframes, the notice will automatically be considered sufficient.

Additionally, the bill modifies the timeline for the boundary review board's actions, changing the review period from "forty-five" days to "45" days and updating the timeframe for the board to make findings on proposals from "one hundred twenty" days to "120" days. These changes aim to streamline the review process and ensure timely decisions regarding boundary changes and service extensions.
