The bill establishes a new section in chapter 19.27A RCW that mandates the joint legislative audit and review committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the costs incurred by state agencies to comply with the state energy performance standard. This review will build upon the financial analysis presented in the clean buildings work group report from November 2024. The committee is tasked with compiling data on state expenditures related to compliance, analyzing trends in energy audits, estimating job creation from capital upgrades, and identifying potential funding sources for necessary upgrades. The committee must submit a final report to the legislature by June 30, 2027, and the section will expire on January 1, 2029.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that if specific funding for the purposes of this act is not provided by June 30, 2025, in the omnibus appropriations act, the act will become null and void. This ensures that the implementation of the review and reporting process is contingent upon the availability of funding.
