AI Summary
This bill makes permanent a property tax exemption for multipurpose senior citizen centers, meaning these centers will no longer have to reapply for this tax break. The bill also states that a specific section of existing law, RCW 82.32.805, which deals with the expiration of tax preferences, will not apply to this senior center exemption, ensuring its indefinite continuation. This change builds upon a previous law from 2017 that initially established this exemption.
