Bill > HB1144

This bill adds an additional superior court judge to Skagit County, increasing the number of superior court judges in that county from four to five. The bill amends Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 2.08.063, which lists the number of superior court judges for various counties in Washington state. The bill includes a specific provision that if funding for this additional judge is not specifically allocated in the omnibus appropriations act by June 30, 2025, referencing this bill's number or chapter number, the entire act will become null and void. This means the additional judicial position is contingent on receiving dedicated funding from the state legislature, ensuring that the new judge position is financially feasible and supported by the state budget.
