Section 8001

RCW 43.88.031 requires the disclosure of the estimated debt service costs associated with new capital bond appropriations. The estimated debt service costs for the appropriations contained in this act are $73,258,483 $46,425,516 for the 2025-2027 biennium, $410,061,655 $390,379,123 for the 2027-2029 biennium, and $631,176,449 $584,977,090 for the 2029-2031 biennium.

Section 8002

(1) The following agencies may enter into financial contracts, paid from any funds of an agency, appropriated or nonappropriated, for the purposes indicated and in not more than the principal amounts indicated, plus financing expenses and required reserves pursuant to chapter 39.94 RCW. When securing properties under this section, agencies shall use the most economical financial contract option available, including long-term leases, lease-purchase agreements, lease-development with option to purchase agreements or financial contracts using certificates of participation. Expenditures made by an agency for one of the indicated purposes before the issue date of the authorized financial contract and any certificates of participation therein are intended to be reimbursed from proceeds of the financial contract and any certificates of participation therein to the extent provided in the agency's financing plan approved by the state finance committee.

Section 8003

(1) To ensure that major construction projects are carried out in accordance with legislative and executive intent, agencies must complete a predesign for state construction projects with a total anticipated cost in excess of $10,000,000 $15,000,000. For purposes of this section, "total anticipated cost" means the sum of the anticipated cost of the predesign, design, and construction phases of the project.

Section 8004

(1) The legislature finds that use of life-cycle cost analysis will aid public entities, architects, engineers, and contractors in making design and construction decisions that positively impact both the initial construction cost and the ongoing operating and maintenance cost of a project. To ensure that the total cost of a project is accounted for and the most reasonable and cost efficient design is used, agencies shall develop life-cycle costs for any construction project over $10,000,000. The life-cycle costs must represent the present value sum of capital costs, installation costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs over the life expectancy of the project. The legislature further finds the most effective approach to the life-cycle cost analysis is to integrate it into the early part of the design process.

Section 8005

(1) For the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, unless otherwise specified for a single purpose in this act or chapter 414, Laws of 2025, agencies are appropriated one lump sum for minor works projects. It is the intent of the legislature that appropriated funds be spent in the biennium for which they are appropriated.

Section 8006

FOR THE STATE TREASURER—TRANSFERS

Section 8007

It is the intent of the legislature to support the future construction of a new Washington state library-archives building for the office of the secretary of state on the former site of the general administration building.

Section 8008

Any agency receiving appropriations in this act from climate commitment act accounts created in RCW 70A.65.240 through 70A.65.280 must report to and coordinate with the department of ecology to track expenditures as described in RCW 70A.65.300 and chapter 173-446B WAC. If an expenditure is expected to result in greenhouse gas emission reductions, the agency must use a department of ecology approved calculator tool or methodology.

Section 8009

(1) The office of the superintendent of public instruction must develop requests for omnibus capital appropriations for the 2027-2029 fiscal biennium for implementation of the school construction assistance program (SCAP) revision planning study proposals specified in this section.

Section 8010

The legislature finds that affordable local government infrastructure is necessary to support affordable communities and new housing construction, amongst other state priorities. The lack of comprehensive statewide data on the condition and capacity of water, wastewater, stormwater, roads, bridges, and solid waste systems poses growing risks to public health, environmental quality, housing availability, and economic vitality. Local and tribal governments lack sufficient resources to maintain, repair, and expand aging infrastructure, demonstrating that existing funding and capacity are inadequate to meet current and future infrastructure needs. To that end, the public works board may, within existing resources and utilizing professional services as needed, assess statewide tribal and local government infrastructure needs and evaluate financing options to address funding gaps, in consultation with the interagency, multijurisdictional system improvement team established in RCW 43.155.150. The public works board must include any relevant findings in the biennial reports required in RCW 43.155.150(6).

Section 8011

(1) The legislature finds that local and community projects, as well as other direct appropriations, are a vital means of responding directly to pressing and emergent community needs across the state. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to provide the department of commerce with direction regarding the implementation of these projects, including changes to their scope and location, so as to facilitate their timely completion and in a manner that is consistent with legislative intent.

Section 8012

(1) The legislature intends that appropriations for grant programs and community projects be spent in a timely manner in order to accomplish the goal for which they were appropriated. In furtherance of this goal, the legislature does not intend to reappropriate moneys for projects for which a contract has not been executed within four years from the date of appropriation or for which appropriations have not been spent within six years of appropriation for grant programs and community projects appropriated from the state building construction account. Nothing in this section operates as a guarantee of reappropriation.

Section 8013

The Department of Health shall name the South Laboratory Addition, funded in section 6214, chapter 414, Laws of 2025, the "Mary C. Selecky Environmental Laboratories" in honor of the former Washington State Secretary of Health Mary Selecky and the lasting impact of her work in public health.

Section 8014

2025 c 414 s 8020 (uncodified) is repealed.

Section 8015

If any part of this act is found to be in conflict with federal requirements that are a prescribed condition to the allocation of federal funds to the state, the conflicting part of this act is inoperative solely to the extent of the conflict and with respect to the agencies directly affected, and this finding does not affect the operation of the remainder of this act in its application to the agencies concerned. Rules adopted under this act must meet federal requirements that are a necessary condition to the receipt of federal funds by the state.

Section 8016

If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.

Section 8017

This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately.
