HB 2530 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Changing the deadline for forming a public facilities district for regional aquatics and sports facilities.

HB 2530 changes the deadline for local governments to form a new public facilities district specifically for regional aquatics and sports facilities. It affects cities, towns, or counties that want to create joint districts under existing rules (subsections 35.57.010(1)(f) and (e)). The bill amends state law to replace the current deadline of July 1, 2026, with a new date (not specified in the provided text), ensuring districts can be established before this revised date. This change directly impacts communities planning to develop shared recreational infrastructure.
