Committee clears hearing on statutory cleanup bill removing expired provisions and obsolete references
Summary
House Bill 2,408 would remove expired temporary provisions and obsolete references to the Department of Personnel, and would shift certain background-check rulemaking to responsible agencies; staff and OFM supported the cleanup.
House Bill 2,408 was presented as a cleanup measure that removes expired temporary provisions from the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), deletes obsolete references to the abolished Department of Personnel (functions transferred to OFM and Department of Enterprise Services), and removes provisions tied to expired pandemic and biennium-era salary rules.
Sherry Sawyer of the Office of Financial Management testified in support, describing it as a "good little cleanup bill" and clarified that removing OFM from certain background-check rule provisions simply relocates the authority to the appropriate agencies.
The committee concluded its business for the day and adjourned.
