The bill mandates the joint legislative audit and review committee to conduct a comprehensive review of Washington's riparian programs, with a report due to the legislature by June 1, 2027, and a preliminary report required by December 1, 2025. The review will encompass a detailed list of funded riparian programs, including eligible entities, local match amounts, maximum grant amounts, and an assessment of the effectiveness of each program.

Additionally, the report will provide recommendations regarding the continuation, enhancement, consolidation, or elimination of these programs, as well as suggestions for improving access to funding and reducing administrative burdens. The section outlining these requirements is set to expire on July 1, 2028.
