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.

This bill updates the statute regarding the Office of International Relations and Protocol (OIRP) within the Office of the
Governor. It also adjusts existing statute affecting other state agencies and makes modifications to statute impacting the
Legislative Committee for Economic Development and International Relations (LCEDIR).

•Section 1: Requires ORIP to lead the development of a strategic international engagement plan for Washington. The
Office must complete an initial strategic plan by July 1, 2025. The plan should undergo a periodic review to measure
progress and outcomes at least 2 ½ years thereafter with a complete update every five years.

•Section 2: Refines language and authorities already in statute for the scope of Washington State’s international
relations.

•Section 3: Amends existing statute to reflect OIRP’s role in the designation of jurisdictions of strategic significance and
requires OIRP to establish procedures and requirements for operations for the execution of responsibilities identified
throughout the bill.

•Section 4: Modifies existing authority to make strategic significance designations by recognizing “jurisdictions” rather
than merely “nations” to be so designated. It also establishes relevant criteria for such designations.

•Section 5: Adds a new requirement for the establishment of an intergovernmental exchange co-chaired by the governor
of Washington and the premier of British Columbia (Canada).
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 Governor’s Office assumes the bill would have the following fiscal impacts:

Developing a strategic international engagement plan will require public and private engagement through outreach support.
This support may require conducting research, printing, and distributing information necessary for the outreach. At this time,
OIRP may require a contract for these activities as a one-time cost. There may be additional future costs associated with
updating the strategic plan every five years, these costs aren’t reflected in the note since it would occur after FY 2029.
Results Washington can assist the OIRP with strategic planning, which will not require additional staff or funding as this is
considered part of their regular work.

Establishing procedures and requirements for operations and designating jurisdictions of strategic significance would be
addressed by existing resources. However, the Governor assumes ongoing costs associated with supporting inbound and
outbound delegations and dignitaries to Washington State.

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 1 Bill # 6168 SB
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.

Under current law, Washington State Department of Agriculture’s (WSDA’s) International Marketing Program provides
resources to Washington agricultural producers to help them export their products, matches producers with qualified buyers,
removes market access barriers, and participates in Governor’s missions to promote Washington agriculture.

This bill would require the Office of International Relations and Protocol (OIRP) to develop a strategic international
engagement plan and create a common framework for Washington’s international activities including trade missions,
economic development, and knowledge exchange. Sections impacting WSDA include:

- Section 1 (2) states the OIRP may consult with entities relevant to Washington’s international presence when
developing the strategic plan and includes cabinet agencies as examples of these entities.

- Section 1 (4) requires the initial strategic plan be submitted by July 1, 2025, with periodic review to measure progress
and outcomes at least every two and a half years and a full update every five years.

- Section 2 amends the reasons for creation of the OIRP to include coordinating and improving communication and
resource sharing among various state offices, agencies, and educational institutions with international programs.

- Section 4 directs the OIRP, in consultation with WSDA and other appropriate agencies, to Identify up to fifteen foreign
jurisdictions that are of strategic importance to the development and diversification of Washington’s international trade
relations.

Currently, the manager of the WSDA International Marketing Program communicates with the OIRP regarding WSDA’s
international strategies and activities as well as those of Washington’s agriculture industry. The OIRP shares the
Governor’s international plans and coordinates trade missions of interest to WSDA and the agriculture industry. Current
communication and collaboration are implemented on an as-needed basis. This bill would formalize and create more
structure around this communication and collaboration, including the formation of a strategic plan that includes WSDA’s
input.

Because the WSDA International Marketing Program Manager currently communicates and collaborates with the OIRP,
any additional communication, collaboration and work resulting from this bill, including input into the strategic plan and
identification of strategic foreign jurisdictions, would fall within the expected scope of the program manager’s duties.
Therefore, the proposed legislation would not have a fiscal impact on WSDA.
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.
