This bill amends RCW 46.68.175 and repeals several existing laws related to various accounts, including the Independent Youth Housing Account and the COVID-19 Unemployment Account, among others. Specifically, it creates a new section that outlines the repeal of these accounts and establishes the abandoned recreational vehicle disposal account, which will receive fees from RCW 46.17.380 and can also accept transfers and appropriations from the general fund. The bill stipulates that funds in this account can only be used for specific reimbursements related to the transport, dismantling, and disposal of abandoned recreational vehicles, with a cap of $10,000 per vehicle for eligible costs.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the salary/insurance contribution increase revolving fund, mandating that all funds in this account be deposited into the general fund starting July 1, 2026, and prohibits any expenditures or transfers from this fund after that date. It also states that any remaining balance in accounts abolished by this act will be transferred to the state general fund. The effective date for the sections related to the repeals and fund transfers is set for July 1, 2026, while the provisions regarding the abandoned recreational vehicle disposal account take effect immediately to ensure the preservation of public safety and support for state institutions.
