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 in complying with the state energy performance standard. This review will utilize findings from the clean buildings work group's November 2024 report and will involve analyzing a sample of state-owned buildings. The committee is tasked with compiling data on expenditures related to compliance, estimating job creation from these expenditures, and identifying potential funding sources for necessary capital upgrades. The final report is due 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 act is not allocated by June 30, 2025, it will become null and void. This ensures that the implementation of the act is contingent upon the availability of financial resources.
