The bill amends various sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to the Andy Hill cancer research endowment, enhancing its structure and operational guidelines. Key definitions are updated, including the introduction of "clinical trial" and modifications to the roles of the program administrator, which now may include one or more private nonprofit corporations registered under Title 24 RCW. The bill also specifies that the board overseeing the endowment will be staffed by program administrators selected under contract, and it outlines the board's responsibilities in managing grant funding for cancer research, prevention, and care.

Additionally, the bill establishes a match transfer account within the state treasury to provide state matching funds for the endowment, with a maximum annual appropriation of ten million dollars. It stipulates that expenditures from this account are contingent upon proof of committed nonstate or private contributions for cancer-related initiatives. The bill also includes provisions for the endowment to issue annual reports detailing its activities and financial status, ensuring transparency and accountability in its operations. Overall, the amendments aim to strengthen the governance and funding mechanisms of the Andy Hill cancer research endowment to better support cancer research and care in Washington State.
