Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to vacancies on boards of county commissioners; 2 and repealing RCW 36.32.070 and 36.32.0558. 3
AI Summary
This bill repeals two existing state laws (RCW 36.32.070 and RCW 36.32.0558) that currently govern vacancies on boards of county commissioners in Washington state. Specifically, the bill eliminates the current statutory provisions that outline how vacancies are to be filled on county commissioner boards. By repealing these laws without providing replacement language, the bill effectively removes the existing legal framework for addressing commissioner vacancies. This means that future vacancies on county commissioner boards will likely be handled through alternative legal mechanisms or general governing statutes. The bill was passed by the Washington State Senate on February 12, 2025, passed by the House on April 9, 2025, approved by the Governor on April 22, 2025, and filed with the Secretary of State on the same date.
