Studying the financial oversight of the interstate bridge replacement project.

HB 2030 directs Washington's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee to study the financial oversight of the interstate bridge replacement project by December 1, 2027. The study will examine how project funds were reported and spent since 2019, including cost overruns, payment processes, forecasting accuracy, and Washington State Department of Transportation's internal controls. It will compare practices against industry benchmarks and similar projects to assess transparency and accountability. The bill does not change funding or policy - it only mandates a review to inform future legislative decisions. The committee must submit findings to lawmakers by the deadline, and the requirement expires December 31, 2027.
