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 43.160.020 to add a definition for a frontier county, which means a county with a population density
of less than 50 persons per square mile as determined by the Office of Financial Management and published each year by
the Department of Commerce (department). Every frontier county is considered a rural county under the Community
Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) statute and is already eligible for grants and loans based on the CERB definition of
rural county.
Section 2 amends RCW 43.330.010 to add a definition for a frontier county, which means a county with a population density
of less than 50 persons per square mile as determined by the Office of Financial Management and published each year by
the department. Every frontier county is considered a rural county under the department statute and eligible for benefits,
programs and services a rural county may receive unless otherwise specified.
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 proposed legislation does not have a fiscal impact to CERB or the department. It is with minimal staff time that the
department could receive the list of frontier counties from the Office of Financial Management and publish it on the
department's website. The definition of frontier county is inclusive within the definition of rural county and does not modify
the eligibility for CERB grants and loans, or the department allocations to associate development organizations.

Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government.
A "frontier county" is defined as a county with a population density of less than 50 persons per square mile. The population
density will be determined by the Office of Financial Management and published each year.
A frontier county is also a rural county, and as such, a frontier county is eligible for all benefits, services, and programs
available to a rural county, unless specifically excluded under:
-- RCW 43.160 applying to Public Facility Loans and Grants for Economic Development
-- RCW 43.330 applying to the Department of Commerce and its programs; and
-- RCW 82.02 applying to Excise Taxes
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 not expand the list of counties designation as rural counties under the provisions of RCW 43.160;
RCW 43.330 or RCW 82.02. Therefore, this legislation has no fiscal impact on local government expenditures.
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 legislation would not expand the list of counties designation as rural counties under the provisions of RCW 43.160;
RCW 43.330 or RCW 82.02. Therefore, this legislation has no fiscal impact on local government revenues.
