FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 1 Bill # 1541 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.

1541 HB has no fiscal impact to the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA).

The bill is administrative in nature and proposes amendments to RCW 43.60A.080, which governs the Veterans Affairs
Advisory Committee in Washington State. These updates aim to enhance the structure and operations.

The bill removes language allowing a VAAC member to be appointed from the WA Soldiers Home in Orting and the WA
Veterans Home in Port Orchard. Current law allows the Governor to appoint 2 Veterans in at large capacity if there are no
Residents from the Homes available to serve, the law also requires that the VAAC assign Homes Liaisons to each of the 4
State Veterans Homes. This change is in line with current practice and does not change the total number of VAAC
members appointed by the Governor

The bill also allows 2 of the 10 VSO positions to be appointed differently. If there is a Tribal Veteran or a National Guard
Member / Veteran who applies for a VAAC position, the Governor may appoint them to 2 of the 10 VSO positions. If there
are no applicants from Tribal Veterans or National Guard Members / Veterans, the Governor can continue to appoint 10
VSO positions. There is no change to the total number of VAAC members.
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.
