Attorney General’s Office (AGO) Agency Assumptions:

Legal services associated with the enactment of this bill will begin on August 1, 2026

Location of staffing is assumed to be in a King County office building.

Total workload impact in this request includes standard assumption costs for goods & services, travel, and capital outlays
for all FTE identified.

Agency administration support FTE are included in the tables. The Management Analyst 5 FTE (MA) is used as a
representative classification. An example ratio is for every 1.0 Assistant Attorney General FTE (AAG), the AGO includes
0.5 Paralegal 1 FTE (PL1) and 0.4 MA.

1. The AGO's Consumer Protection Division (CPR) activities require General Fund-State dollars. CPR enforces the
Consumer Protection Act (CPA) against entities who violate RCW 19.86.020, which broadly prohibits unfair or deceptive
acts or practices in trade or commerce. CPR's focus is on holding businesses and individuals accountable for conduct that
misleads consumers. There is no client agency to bill for legal services.

This bill provides both, the AGO enforcement and a private right of action. Enforcement of a comprehensive privacy law
would be a priority for AGO and due to the highly technical nature of this area, enforcement would require specialized
expertise and the analysis. Therefore, this chapter would not be absorbed by CPRs existing work.

Years one through two, following the enactment of this bill: CPR assumes it will open one new investigation, and file one
new lawsuit, in each of the first two years. CPR assumes 2.0 AAG or 3,600 AAG hours (50 percent investigation and 50
percent litigation), 0.5 Paralegal 2 FTE (PL2) or 900 PL2 hours (50 percent investigation and 50 percent litigation), and 0.5
Senior Investigator FTE (INV) or 900 INV hours (75 percent investigation and 25 percent litigation) in each year.

Years three through four: CPR assumes enforcement activity will begin to decline as industry comes into compliance, and is
more willing to compromise, in response to successful enforcement. CPR assumes to open one new investigation in each of
years three and four and will file one new lawsuit in year three. CPR assumes litigation in years one through two will
resolve, or near resolution during years three through four. CPR assumes 1.5 AAG or 2,700 AAG hours (25 percent
investigation and 75 percent litigation), 0.2 PL2 or 360 PL2 hours (25 percent investigation and 75 percent litigation), and 0.2
INV or 360 INV hours (75 percent investigation and 25 percent litigation) in each year.

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 3 Bill # 1671 HB
Years five through six: CPR assumes enforcement activity will continue to decline as industry continues to come into
compliance, and is more willing to compromise, in response to successful enforcement. CPR assumes to open one new
investigation in each year and will file no new lawsuits. CPR assumes litigation in year three, and any litigation from years
one through two not already resolved, will resolve in years five through six. CPR assumes 1.0 AAG or 1,800 AAG hours
(75 percent investigation and 25 percent litigation), 0.2 PL2 or 360 PL2 hours (75 percent investigation and 25 percent
litigation), and 0.2 INV or 360 INV hours (90 percent investigation and 10 percent litigation) in each year.

CPR: Total King County workload impact:
FY 2026 and FY 2027: $825,000 for 2.0 AAG, 0.5 PL2, 0.5 INV, and 1.0 PL1, which includes direct litigation costs of

2. The AGO Utilities and Transportation Commission (AGO-UTC) has reviewed this bill and determined it will not increase
or decrease the division’s workload. The enactment of this bill will not impact the provision of legal services to the Utilities
and Transportation Commission (UTC). This bill does not apply to governmental entities. Therefore, no costs are included in
this request.
