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.

 HB 1860 creates the supply chain competitiveness infrastructure program account and allows the account to retain its
 earnings from investments.

 There will be some de-minimis work for OST which can be completed within current practices and resources.
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.

 Projected cash flows are currently unavailable; therefore, estimated earnings from investments are indeterminable.

II. C - Expenditures

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.

 HB 1860 requires the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to form and operate the supply chain
 competitiveness infrastructure program.

 Section 2 adds a new section to RCW 47.04 and requires WSDOT to collaborate with the Department of Commerce
 (Department) and other collaborators to develop priorities and other program formation activities.
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.


 Collaboration with WSDOT under this act would be part of the Department’s standard operating procedures for the
 Maritime Sector Lead, and no additional resources would be required. The estimated workload to support the activities
 outlined in Section 2 is 1 hour per month for an EMS 3, and the total estimated cost is $3,459. The workload will be
 absorbed by the Department; therefore, there is no fiscal impact on the Department.

                                  Individual State Agency Fiscal Note
Agency Assumptions
 The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) assumes the possible fiscal impact to include 2.0 - 4.0
 FTEs for program development and implementation, and 1.0 - 2.5 FTEs for ongoing management, varying based on
 program size and budget. Activities may include partner collaboration, program development and management, legal
 review, criteria and performance measurement development, project administration, financial and technical support,
 and annual inspections for a period of 10 years post-construction. The department plans to collaborate with the other
 agencies and stakeholders to develop priorities for the supply chain competitive infrastructure program. While the
 length and frequency of these meetings are yet to be decided, the department intends to collaborate closely with all
 parties involved. Following the first meeting, added meetings will be scheduled based on mutual agreement.

Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief description of what the measure does that has fiscal impact.
Section 2 directs the Washington State Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Department of Commerce,
Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board, Washington State Public Ports Association, and other critical supply chain
stakeholders, to set priorities for a new supply chain competitiveness infrastructure program that includes grants and loans
to public ports and federally recognized tribal governments with established port operations.

Section 3(1) creates the supply chain competitiveness infrastructure program account and states that the public and private
entities may deposit moneys from federal, state, local or private sources in the account; Sec 3(2) states that the Legislature
intends that supply chain competitiveness infrastructure grant funds will be appropriated to WSDOT using exiting
transportation accounts.

Section 4 and 5 directs WSDOT to govern and operate the grant and loan programs, including identifying eligible project
types and developing performance metrics through a collaborative process with Commerce and other stakeholders.

II. B – Cash Receipts Impact
N/A


II. C - Expenditures
The fiscal impact to WSDOT is indeterminant based on the direction to develop and implement a supply chain
competitiveness program in coordination with Department of Commerce, Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board,
Washington State public ports associations, and other critical supply chain stakeholders.

Additionally, as currently written, HB 1860 defines a “program” of loan and grants that are subject to appropriation, the
bill provides an indeterminate program size and budget.

WSDOT assumes an administrative and management role to govern and operate the grant and revolving loan programs,
including identifying eligible project types for the new program and developing performance metrics through a
collaborative process with the Department of Commerce and other stakeholders.

                                 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note
Possible expenditure fiscal impacts include 2.0 - 4.0 FTEs for program development and implementation and 1.0 - 2.5
FTEs for ongoing program management, which may vary depending upon program size and budget. Activities could
include: partner collaboration and initial meetings for program development, continue meeting facilitation and reporting,
development of new programmatic WAC, legal review and coordination, program eligibility, criteria and performance
measurement development, develop and administer call-for-projects, project validation, prioritization, selection, and
monitoring, planning integration, grant and loan agreement development and administration, financial and account
management, technical support, grantee coordination, project management and close-out and final documentation, grant
and loan program management and agency coordination, and annual inspections and verification of constructed
infrastructure for consideration period (assumed to 10 years post construction). The department projects the costs to be
partially indeterminate, with an expected fiscal impact exceeding $50,000 per fiscal year. A small part of the costs will
have no fiscal impact.


Part III: Expenditure Detail
III. A - Expenditures by Object or Purpose

Indeterminate: The fiscal impact is indeterminate for Rail, Freight and Ports (Program Y), however based on the
positions currently administering other grant and loan programs such as the FRIB loan program, FRAP grant program,
and the Port Electrification Competitive Grant Program, the agency estimates annual costs of $300,000 - $600,000 for
development and implementation and $200,000 - $375,000 for ongoing program management.


Identified Costs: Rail, Freight and Ports (Program Y) expects hiring two FTEs, Transportation Engineer 3 and
Transportation Planning Specialist 4, starting July 1, 2025. These new hires will support current FTEs in the establishment
of the program and for ongoing program and project management. The estimated costs for the FTEs:

            o   Salaries and Benefits (Object A and B):
                       2025-27 biennium $556,400 for program establishment and coordination (2.0 - 4.0 FTEs).
                       Per biennium (on-going) $530,400 for program and project management (1.0 - 2.5).
            o   Goods and Services (Object E), Capital Outlays (Object J), and Travel (Object G) per fiscal year:
                       2026 Fiscal Year: $22,000 (includes laptop purchase)
                       Per fiscal year (on-going): $4,000
            o   Total FTE estimated cost for 2025-27 biennium is $556,400 and on-going $538,400 per biennium.

Rail, Freight and Ports (Program Y) plans continue growing with the number of staff necessary for managing projects,
screening projects, working with public and private stakeholders, financial activities, and added tasks.

No Fiscal Impact: Transportation Safety & System Analysis (TSSA) division assumes it may aid in developing the
performance metrics in Section 4. This effort would be limited and periodic and could be performed within existing
resources; thus, it would have no fiscal impact on the TSSA division.


Part IV: Capital Budget Impact

Part V: New Rule Making Required
Section 2 specifies that department may adopt rules under chapter 34.05 RCW to implement the supply chain
competitiveness infrastructure program.

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 directs WSDOT to coordinate with FMSIB and other state agencies to set priorities for a successful supply chain
 competitiveness infrastructure loan and grant program.

 Section 4 sets out programmatic goals that projects for the supply chain competitive infrastructure program must align.
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.


 Section 2 requires interagency coordination efforts to set priorities for a successful supply chain competitiveness
 infrastructure loan and grant program. FMSIB expects to actively engage throughout the stakeholder process and serve as
 subject matter experts on supply chain processes as described in Sec. 4. (2) and the mitigation of community impacts from
 freight development as described in Sec. 4. (1) (f). This effort will require salary and benefit expenditures of approximately
 $26,000 for 250 hours of the Executive Director's time annually.

 Part IV: Analysis
A. SUMMARY OF BILL
Description of the bill with an emphasis on how it impacts local government.
   This legislation creates the Washington State Supply Chain Competitiveness Infrastructure Grant and Loan Program in the
   Department of Transportation. The program will provide grants and loans to projects which enhance supply chain
   competitiveness for public ports and federally recognized tribal governments with established ports and operations. Eligible
   projects must be included in a port’s freight development plan as defined in RCW 53.20.055.

   This legislation goes into effect on July 1, 2028.
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 impact local government expenditures.

   Assumptions released by the Department of Transportation include collaboration with all parties involved. This
   collaboration will include at least one meeting with the possibility of additional meetings being scheduled based on mutual
   agreement. The number and frequency of meetings (and whether they may be conducted virtually) is unknown so the cost
   to local governments (staff time and travel costs) cannot be estimated.

   Public port districts may be required to update their freight development plan. However, the WPPA does not consider this
   update to be an additional implementation cost for public port districts.
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 have an indeterminate revenue impact on local governments.

   Port districts will see an indeterminate increase in revenues if they choose to apply for a grant or loan. However, the
   amount of funding that will be made available is unknown and cannot be estimated.
