The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) related to the state capitol campus, emphasizing the importance of preserving its beauty and historical significance. It establishes a new section that mandates the state capitol committee to review and recommend a 10-year capital plan for the campus, ensuring that proposed projects are prioritized based on their importance and impact. Additionally, the bill outlines the composition and responsibilities of the state capitol committee, which now includes various state officials and legislators, and requires the committee to meet at least four times a year to oversee capital projects and provide guidance on security and policy matters.

Significant changes include the expansion of the committee's role in approving building names and memorials on the capitol campus, with specific criteria for naming that includes a requirement for individuals to be deceased for at least ten years. The bill also introduces a new section that mandates all memorials on the campus to undergo review and approval by the state capitol committee, which will also recommend funding to the legislature. Furthermore, the bill repeals an existing section regarding committee records, streamlining the legislative framework governing the state capitol campus.
