Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government.
This bill will allow special purpose and junior taxing districts to be members of the Intrastate Mutual Aid System in addition
to the current members: counties, cities, towns, and federally recognized Indian tribes located in Washington state. This bill
creates a local option and will not impact local governments.

Section 1 amends RCW 38.56.020 [Intrastate Mutual Aid System - Established] to add special purpose and junior taxing
districts to a list of possible members.
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 bill will not impact local government expenditures as it requires no local government action.

Should a special purpose district or junior taxing district opt to become a member of the Intrastate Mutual Aid System
(IMAS), the district is expected to incur minimal staff costs associated with coordinating information for registration
purposes. According to the Military Dept., this process can range from requiring a couple days to a couple weeks
depending upon the district’s approval processes.

The Military Dept. does not charge membership fees to become a member in IMAS.
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.

This bill will not impact local government revenues as it requires no local government action.

Should a special purpose district or junior taxing district opt to become a member of the Intrastate Mutual Aid System
(IMAS), membership will not impact: a) the revenue of the local government, or 2) the local government’s eligibility for
grants from the state, according to the Military Department. The primary benefit of special districts whom opt in as
members is a decreased emergency response time due to more immediate coordination with other local governments and
the state.
