The bill amends RCW 36.69.010 to expand the definition of "recreational facilities" within park and recreation districts. It introduces new provisions that allow community centers to include public libraries, provided that the library occupies less than 50 percent of the usable space and operates in accordance with chapter 27.12 RCW. This change aims to enhance the availability of library services as part of the recreational offerings in these districts.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing framework for park and recreation districts as municipal corporations dedicated to providing leisure activities and facilities to residents. The inclusion of public libraries within community centers is intended to promote access to educational resources while still fulfilling the recreational purpose of these facilities.
