Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to the medal of valor award presentation; and 2 amending RCW 1.60.030. 3
AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for the presentation of the Medal of Valor award by the Governor of Washington. Previously, the award could only be presented during a joint session of the state legislature. The bill removes this requirement, allowing the Governor to present the award at any time. It also allows the Governor to delegate the presentation to the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court if the Governor is unable to present the award due to disability or illness.
