The bill amends RCW 43.119.020 to remove the requirement for members of the Washington state women's commission to be confirmed by the state senate. Specifically, the language stating that members are appointed by the governor "with the advice and consent of the senate" has been deleted. This change allows the governor to appoint members directly without needing legislative approval, streamlining the appointment process.

Additionally, the bill updates the terminology regarding membership appointments, changing "nominations for" to "appointments." The bill maintains the requirement for the governor to consider a diverse representation of various demographics when making appointments. It also outlines the terms of service for commission members and the reimbursement policies for both legislative and non-legislative members. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the efficiency of the commission's operations by simplifying the appointment process.
