Section 2 (1) establishes the office of entrepreneurship. Section 2 (3) states that the “office may collaborate” with the
Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE), and, if so, OMWBE is required to assist the new Office
in performing its duties, which may include providing data.
Section 3 requires the office of entrepreneurship to submit a report to legislative committees by November 1, 2026, and
biennially thereafter.
If requested, OWMBE will assist this new agency in the same manner that it does for other agencies that it collaborates
with. OMWBE will be able to do this within existing resources. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact for this original bill.

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 2 adds a new section to RCW 43.330 and establishes the Office of Entrepreneurship (Office) within the
Department of Commerce (Commerce). Subsection 1(3) states that the Office may collaborate with several state agencies,
including the Department of Enterprise Services (DES), to carry out its purpose. Each agency identified in section 2(3) shall
cooperate with and assist the Office by providing the data that is necessary for the Office to meet its reporting obligations,
as defined under section 3 of this act.
Section 3 adds a new section to RCW 43.330 stating the Office shall produce a report to the Legislature beginning
November 1, 2026, and biennially thereafter. The details of what must be included in the report are defined in section 3(1)
(a-h).
Subsection 3(2) states that the Office shall encourage five percent of the total number and value of state contracts to be
awarded to businesses that have been in operation for not more than five years and whose principal place of business is in
this state.
DES collects data for statewide contracts and public works bids and can provide this information to the Office of
Entrepreneurship in the normal course of business. Should the Office require DES to provide data that is not currently
collected system enhancements and/or additional staff may be needed, which could result in a future fiscal impact.

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 1 Bill # 1245 HB
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.
1245 HB has no fiscal impact to the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA). Any minor administrative
efforts required to support the Office of Entrepreneurship through resource referral and data sharing can be managed
within existing staff and resources.
This bill establishes The Office of Entrepreneurship, designed to facilitate the creation and growth of business in
Washington State. The Office’s functions include:
1. Supporting businesses with fewer than 10 employees.
2. Providing technical support and resources for entrepreneurs.
3. Assisting businesses in operation for less than five years in navigating state agencies.
4. Identifying government regulations and fees that hinder business formation.
5. Collaborating with other support agencies, including the WDVA.
Support agencies will assist the Office in its functions, including providing data for required reporting. The bill mandates the
Office to submit a biennial legislative report detailing state contract spending, demographic data, and barriers faced by
business operating for less than five years. Additionally, the Office is tasked with encouraging the allocation of at least five
percent of state contracts, both by number and value, to businesses that have in operation for less than five years.
WDVA’s only involvement will be to support the Office by providing resource referrals and necessary data, which can be
absorbed within existing staffing and resources.
