SB 6063 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Correcting terminology to align the revised code of Washington with recent reorganization at the department of social and health services.

SB 6063 is a technical correction bill that updates outdated references in Washington State law to match the current structure of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) following its reorganization. It amends multiple sections of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to replace references to "Department of Social and Health Services" with the correct current name and adjust cross-references to related agencies like the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration. The bill does not create new programs, change eligibility for services, or alter existing policies - its sole purpose is to align the legal code with the state’s current administrative structure. This is a procedural update affecting only the statutory text, not the public or service delivery.
