The bill amends RCW 28B.77.310 to make administrative changes to the Workforce Education Investment Accountability and Oversight Board. It establishes the board with 18 members, including legislative members and appointees from various sectors such as business, labor organizations, higher education institutions, and student representatives. The terms for board members are set at three years, with student members serving one-year terms. The bill also specifies that the board will have two co-chairs, one from the legislature and one representing businesses, with co-chairs serving a two-year term and being elected biennially.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the board meet at least four times a year and consult data from various educational and workforce organizations to ensure that investments in workforce education are effective in increasing student success and career readiness. The reporting deadline for the board's recommendations to the legislature is changed from August 1st to December 31st of each year. The bill also removes the requirement for the workforce training and education coordinating board to maintain a public-facing data dashboard for the board.
