The bill establishes a new "laboratory accreditation account" within the state treasury, which will receive all fees collected under RCW 43.21A.230. The funds in this account can only be used for activities authorized under the same RCW and will require appropriation for expenditures. Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to clarify that fees collected by the department for environmental programs must be deposited into the air pollution control account and can only be utilized for implementing the relevant chapter.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the air pollution control account's provisions to include receipts from the newly referenced RCW 70A.540.130, ensuring that funds collected under this section are specifically allocated for implementing chapter 70A.540 RCW. The bill also outlines the criteria for distributing funds from the air pollution control account to local authorities based on their air quality issues, implementation costs, and available funding from other sources.
