AI Summary
This bill, starting July 1, 2026, will impose an additional one percent tax surcharge on the taxable income of businesses that operate private detention facilities in Washington state, but only if those businesses have annual gross receipts exceeding $1,000,000 within the state. This surcharge is in addition to any other taxes already imposed under chapter 82.04 RCW, which is the section of Washington state law governing business and occupation taxes. A private detention facility is defined in RCW 70.395.020, and this bill aims to add this new tax specifically to those entities.
