AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to increase the number of days nonprofit public assembly halls and meeting places, specifically those exempt under RCW 84.36.037, can hold regularly scheduled fundraising activities without jeopardizing their property tax exemption. Previously, such properties were limited to 15 days per year for fundraising activities that did not involve pecuniary gain or promoting business, but this bill raises that limit to 50 days. The bill also includes provisions for the effective date of these changes, stating they apply to taxes collected in 2027 and thereafter, and sets an expiration date for the first section of the bill in 2033, with the second section taking effect immediately after.
