Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Significant provisions of the bill and any related workload or policy assumptions that have revenue or expenditure impact on the responding agency by
section number.

Fiscal impact for the following section is deemed no fiscal impact:

Sec. 4 (2) (c) - This new subsection stipulates the agency may provide a resource guide for applicants for federal grants,
including links to federal applications and relevant resources, and contact information for department assistance. This is
determined to be no fiscal impact as this is supported using existing resources.

Fiscal impact for the following section is deemed partially determinate and partially indeterminate impact:

Sec. 4 (4) (a) (b) - The new subsection 4 directs the department to establish and administer a moving assets towards
community health program (Program). The purpose of the Program is to increase opportunities for local communities to
compete for federal funding by providing matching funds. The bill does not identify funding source or amounts to establish
this program. Therefore, Part II of the fiscal note will illustrate the assumptions made to provide meaningful impact that
satisfies the intent of the bill.

Sec. 4 (4) (a)(b) - The establishment and administration of a moving assets towards community health program.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency with the cash receipts provisions identified by section number and when appropriate, the
detail of the revenue sources. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts impact is derived. Explanation
of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.

II. C - Expenditures
Agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), with the provisions of the legislation that result in
the expenditures (or savings) identified by section number. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the expenditure
impact is derived. Explanation of how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.

Sec. 4 (4) (a)(b) - Directs the department to establish and administer a moving assets towards community health program
with a biennial report due to the Governor and Legislature beginning in fiscal year 2028. To administer this program, the
Department will require:

0.3 FTE (FY24) EMS2 to provide policy and program development subject matter expertise. Supports the development and
creation of the rules to implement the program for the desired outcomes.
1.0 FTE (FY24-29) Commerce Specialist 3 to design, develop, market and implement the program. Manage the biannual
report to the Governor and Legislature.
0.5 FTE (FY24-29) Commerce Specialist 3 to negotiate, execute, monitor and close contracts/grants associated with the
moving assets towards community health program.

Grant funding:
The amount of grant funding provided for this program is not specified and is therefore indeterminate. However, for
illustrative purposes, a $400,000 grant award could support the application and administration of federal funding, as well as
matching funds. With 20 awards provided, the cost for grants would be approximately $8 million.

Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government.
Overview: The legislature’s intent is to increase the availability of federal grant dollars in local communities by continuing
its efforts to increase the capacity of the Department of Commerce to assist local communities in successfully applying
for federal grant dollars. Commerce would help local communities by creating the Moving Assets towards Community
Health (MATCH) program. The MATCH program would allow local communities to access matching funds that are
needed to secure federal grants from a state funding pool.

Sections that impact local government:
Sec. 2 (Amends RCW 43.330.070):
(2) Adds language which allows Commerce to provide technical assistance or enter into contracts with local communities
in order to provide them with technical assistance in the development of competitive applications for federal funding.

Sec. 4 (Amends RCW 43.330.260):
(1) (c) Adds language which requires Commerce to provide a resource guild for applicants for federal grants.
(4) Directs COM to establish a MATCH program with the intent to increase opportunities for local communities to
compete for federal grants through the provision of a state pool of matching funds for eligible entities to access during the
application process.
B. SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE IMPACTS
Expenditure impacts of the legislation on local governments with the expenditure provisions identified by section number and when
appropriate, the detail of expenditures. Delineated between city, county and special district impacts.

This legislation would have an indeterminate expenditure impact on local governments.

Expenditures by cities and counties under this legislation would be expected to increase if they were to seek the technical
assistance provided by Commerce and the matching funds provided by the MATCH program. The funds and technical
assistance would be utilized by cities and counties to develop more competitive federal grant applications. There is no
available information about what the technical assistance provided by COM will provide. There is also no available
information about what will be required to apply for the matching funds or what the total amount of matching funds will be
available.
C. SUMMARY OF REVENUE IMPACTS
Revenue impacts of the legislation on local governments, with the revenue provisions identified by section number, and when
appropriate, the detail of revenue sources. Delineated between city, county and special district impacts.

The legislation would result in indeterminate revenue for cities and counties. Cities and counties would be eligible to apply
for technical assistance or matching funds to develop more competitive federal grant applications. There is no information
available that would allow of an estimation of city and county revenue increase due to the support provided by the
legislation leading to more successful federal grant applications.
