AI Summary
This bill establishes the evergreen basic income pilot program within the Department of Social and Health Services. The program will provide 24 monthly payments to eligible Washington residents with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level who are experiencing certain major life transitions or conditions associated with high economic instability, such as pregnancy, homelessness, or disability. The payments will be equal to 100% of the fair market rent in the participant's county. The program will be overseen by a board of directors and must prioritize reaching marginalized populations. The bill also requires state agencies to minimize the impact of the basic income payments on participants' eligibility for other public assistance programs.
