Creating the capitol centennial stewardship account and authorizing members of the legislature and statewide elected officials to solicit gifts, grants, and donations to the account.
SB 6313 creates a special "capitol centennial stewardship account" managed by the state treasurer to fund preservation and public access improvements at Washington's state capitol building ahead of its 2028 centennial. It authorizes state legislators and statewide elected officials to solicit gifts, grants, or donations specifically for three purposes: repairing historic capitol facilities, supporting educational programs, and enhancing public engagement with state government. The bill clarifies that such solicitations do not violate standard gift acceptance rules for public officials, provided funds are used only for the designated capitol-related purposes. This is a procedural funding mechanism, not a policy change affecting citizens or requiring new taxes.
