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.

Section 1: Amends RCW 38.52.010 (definitions) to expand "emergency worker" eligibility to include members of Indian
tribes if that tribe has declared its intention to participate in the emergency worker program.

Section 2: Amends RCW 38.52.180 to incorporate federally recognized Indian tribes within the boundary of the state of
Washington into the list of emergency workers exempt from liability for civil damages while engaged in a covered activity.
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.

The changes in this bill will have a minor, but indeterminate, fiscal impact on the Emergency Management Division's
Emergency Worker Program.

The fiscal impact is due to minor changes to the definitions of covered employees and activities. The actual impacts will
vary by year based on the frequency, duration, and severity of incidents requiring the emergency worker program be used.

For context, the total cost of the Emergency Worker/ Search and Rescue program over the last four years is as follows:

SFY20 $45,741.77
SFY21 $52,963.29
SFY22 $37.427.03
SFY23 $95.802.28

Funding for the emergency worker program as currently defined is already included in EMD's budget. The minor changes
are expected to have a negligible but indeterminate fiscal impact.
