Bill > SB5300

This bill modifies the leasing authority of the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission specifically for St. Edward State Park. The bill allows the commission to lease certain buildings and areas within St. Edward State Park, including the main seminary building, pool building, gymnasium, and associated parking lots. It removes previous language that required a specific Department of Commerce study about the property's potential uses before leasing. The bill updates existing state law to clarify that leases for these specific St. Edward State Park properties can be made, while maintaining the existing requirement that leases exceeding 20 years require an affirmative vote of at least five commission members. Additionally, the bill makes some technical corrections to existing statutory language, such as changing written-out numbers (like "twenty") to numeric form (20), and preserving the overall structure of the state parks commission's leasing and management authorities.
