Sunsetting all nonconstitutionally mandated state agencies, commissions, boards, task forces, work groups, and councils every 10 years absent affirmative reestablishment by the legislature.

HB 2001 requires all Washington state agencies, commissions, boards, task forces, work groups, and councils (except those mandated by the state Constitution) to automatically end every 10 years unless the legislature passes new legislation to reestablish them. This applies starting July 1, 2027, and every decade after, aiming to reduce government size and tax burdens. Constitutional bodies like the Supreme Court are exempt from this requirement. The bill’s stated purpose is to ensure state entities regularly justify their existence and align with current priorities.
