SB 6020 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Changing the official name of the department of children, youth, and families oversight board.

SB 6020 changes the official name of the Department of Children, Youth, and Families Oversight Board to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families Social Club. The bill does not alter any policies, duties, or funding for the board; it is solely a name change. The legislature states this change addresses concerns about board members being "offended by the word 'oversight,'" without modifying the board's oversight responsibilities or existing reporting requirements. This is a purely procedural amendment with no substantive policy impact.
