Making the property tax exemption for multipurpose senior citizen centers permanent.
HB 2133 makes permanent a property tax exemption for multipurpose senior citizen centers that was originally established temporarily in 2017. The bill modifies state law to ensure these centers no longer lose their tax exemption after the temporary period ends, directly affecting qualifying senior centers that provide community services. This change removes the temporary nature of the exemption created under Chapter 301, Laws of 2017, ensuring ongoing tax relief for these facilities.

MINOR
The bill was moved from the House floor to the House Finance Committee for review. The text was reformatted to include standard legislative headers and sponsor information. A critical technical correction was made to the tax code citation, changing the incorrect 'RCW 83' to the correct 'RCW 82' for property tax exemptions.
Scope change
The bill's substantive scope and applicability remain unchanged; it still aims to make the property tax exemption for multipurpose senior citizen centers permanent.
TECHNICAL
Corrected the legal citation for the property tax exemption from RCW 83.32.805 to RCW 82.32.805 to ensure the law references the correct chapter.
Added formal headers, committee referral details, and sponsor lists to align with standard legislative formatting.
Removed the original bill number (H-2484.1) and replaced it with the new substitute bill number (H-3313.1) and updated the reading date.
