The bill proposes the repeal of the Washington State Leadership Board by eliminating several related statutes, specifically RCW 43.388.010, 43.388.020, 43.388.030, and 43.388.040. It mandates the transfer of any remaining funds in the Washington State Leadership Board account and the Washington State Leadership Board special license plate account to the state general fund. Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to remove references to the Washington State Leadership Board from the responsibilities of the lieutenant governor and other related provisions. The reallocation of special license plate fees will direct funds previously designated for the board to various programs, including the Mariners Care Foundation and the Seattle Storm Foundation, while also reinforcing the establishment of the Legislative Youth Advisory Council.

Moreover, the bill establishes eligibility criteria for cities to receive construction funds for public tennis facilities, specifically targeting cities without a facility that has at least four indoor tennis courts. The initial allocation of funds will go to the most populous eligible city based on the latest census, with a five-year time limit for utilization before the funds become available to the next most populous city. The bill also outlines the management and disbursement of funds from various accounts, ensuring that only the director or their designee may authorize expenditures, which are subject to allotment procedures but do not require an appropriation. Additionally, it defines a "qualified nonprofit organization" to ensure that funds are directed to effective service providers.
