The bill aims to reorganize the public employees' collective bargaining statutes under chapter 41.56 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) by adding subchapter headings to enhance clarity and navigation. It explicitly states that the intent is not to make any substantive changes to the existing provisions of the chapter. New sections are introduced to categorize various existing RCW sections into specific subchapters, such as "General Provisions," "Application and Scope of Bargaining," and "Negotiations and Arbitration," among others.

Additionally, the bill repeals two specific sections: RCW 41.56.130, which pertains to the rules and regulations of the Washington state personnel resources board, and RCW 41.56.915, which relates to the effective date of a previous act. The code reviser is also tasked with correcting any cross-references to the sections that have been recodified as part of this legislative update. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the collective bargaining statutes without altering their substantive content.
