Reestablishing the joint select committee on civic health.
This bill (SCR 8406) reestablishes Washington's Joint Select Committee on Civic Health, which was originally created in 2024. The committee, composed of 17 legislators (including leadership roles), will continue work started in 2024 to strengthen civic health through collaboration, civility training, and partnerships with groups like the State Legislative Leaders Foundation. It will report to the legislature before the 2027, 2028, and 2029 sessions and will expire at the start of the 2029 session. The bill does not create new laws but authorizes the committee's ongoing operations.
