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 states the legislative intent to transfer no less than $100,000,000 per year into the Community Reinvestment
 Account for the continued implementation of the Community Reinvestment Plan (CRP).

 Section 2 amends RCW 43.79.567 to:

 • Codify an expanded definition of "by and for community organizations" to explicitly include those operated by and for
 Black, Latino, Native American, Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.

 Section 3 adds a new section to chapter 43.330 RCW requiring Commerce to:

 • Update the Community Reinvestment Plan in partnership with the Office of Equity and community organizations every
 10 years, with the first update due in 2032.

 • Submit a biennial report to the governor and legislature starting June 30, 2027, that includes "outcome-based metrics."

 Section 4 Requires Commerce to cooperate with the Washington State Institute for Public Policy (WSIPP) to facilitate
 access to data and resources for a study on the distribution and use of funds, including data on organizations that were
 eligible but did not receive funding. This section expires June 1, 2028.

 Workload and Policy Assumptions:

 • Scale of Administration: Commerce assumes the legislative intent to appropriate no less than $100,000,000 annually will
 require a proportional increase in full-time equivalent (FTE) staff to manage the increased volume of contracts and
 technical assistance (TA).

 • Agricultural Portfolio: Depending on legislative intent, potential need for a dedicated Portfolio lead to design and
 administer this new grant sector.

 • Data and Audit Readiness: Compliance with the WSIPP study (Sec 4) and biennial reporting (Sec 3) assumes the need
 for dedicated Data and Evaluation staff to aggregate outcome-based metrics and organize data regarding unfunded
 applicants for external review by June 30, 2027.

 • Outreach and Engagement: Permanent adoption of the expanded statutory definition of "by and for" (Sec 2) assumes
 increased workload for outreach and TA to ensure Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander organizations are
 adequately supported in the application process. Additionally, each new plan iteration will require substantive community
 engagement.
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 Department of Commerce (Commerce) finds that there is an indeterminate expenditure impact. The analysis provided
 below assumes an appropriation of $100,000,000 per year.

 processes, management of contracts, contract compliance, performance goals, and coordination with other homeownership
 programs and CRP investment areas.

 1.0 FTE, Commerce Specialist 4

 0.2 FTE, Commerce Specialist 5


 ADDITIONAL STAFFING NOTES:

 The original CRP plan and 2023-2025 funding proviso supported four investment areas outlined in RCW 43.79.567.
 Although the Legislature added a fifth area (2)(e) agricultural and economic support in 2023, the 2025-27 proviso requires
 investments to remain proportional to the 2023-25 plan. As a result, Commerce has no current grant program or staffing
 for the new (2)(e) category.

 If Commerce is directed to add this fifth investment area in the future, we anticipate needing 1.0 FTE (Commerce
 Specialist 4) to serve as the CRP Agriculture Portfolio Lead, responsible for program design, implementation and full
 portfolio management.

 During 2023-25, CRP funded 17 programs across the four original areas. With the reduced funding in 2025-27,
 Commerce is administering one competitive grant program per area. The fiscal note reflects staffing needed to maintain
 this structure. If Commerce must reinstate prior-biennium programs, additional Commerce Specialist 3 Contract
 Managers may be required.

 FY27: $65,000
 FY28 & FY30: $45,700 each fiscal year
 FY29 & FY31: $110,700 each fiscal year

 Language access services - $45,700 per fiscal year, starting in FY28

 To support accessible community engagement, CRP plans to utilize the DES Statewide Contract for Language Access
 Services.

 Translation: $50 per page x 20 pages x 5 investment areas x 5 languages = $25,000
 Assumptions are calculated from average cost of translation for one page of content. This allows 20 pages of content per
 investment area in top 5 languages.

 Interpretation: $69 per hour x 60 hours per year x 5 languages = $20,700
 Commerce assumes up to 5 hours of interpretation services for each of the local advisory teams per year. Could be used to
 create accessible meetings, gather community feedback to inform the plan, or gather community feedback to evaluate CRP
 program outcomes.


 CRP biannual report - $65,000 per biennium, starting in FY27

 Sec 3 (4) requires the Department to submit a legislative report by June 30, 2027, and every two years thereafter.
 Commerce plans to contract internally with Research Services to provide data analysis, plan development, and report
 writing. Estimated cost based on similar legislative reports involving complex stakeholder relationships. Costs may be
 higher depending on the complexity of the data analysis and stakeholder engagement.


 CRP Plan Update - every 10 years, beginning in FY32

 Sec 3 (1) requires the Department to partner with the Office of Equity and by and for organizations to update the
 community reinvestment plan every 10 years. The legislature appropriated $1,000,000 for the original Community
 Reinvestment Plan, which covered the cost of the community-led research, data analysis, extensive community
 engagement, coordination with existing/relevant as forces and workgroups, and the development plan. Commerce
 anticipates continuous iterations will require less depth than the original plan but will still require data analyses and
 substantial community engagement.

 For future CRP plan updates beginning in FY32, CRP staff will absorb the majority of the workload. Commerce plans to
 contract internally with Research Services to provide data analysis, plan development, and report writing. The work
 period is planned for July 1, 2031, through June 30, 2032, and estimated costs are up to $110,000 based on similar
 legislative reports involving complex stakeholder relationships. Staff rates may be different during the time this report is
 estimated to be produced. Costs may be higher depending on the complexity of the data analysis and stakeholder
 engagement.


 E - Goods & Services:

 FY27: $10,500
 FY28-31: $80,200 per fiscal year

 G - Travel:

 FY28-31: $15,000 per fiscal year

 Assumptions include: $1,000 per fiscal year per FTE. CRP uses a regional funding model which includes 12 regions

 Commerce assumes our existing partnership and interagency agreement with the Employment Security Department would
 continue as currently scoped in terms of roles and responsibilities. Current interagency agreement ends June 30, 2027.

 *Please note that the contract amount would change if this bill were to be appropriated as intended and mirror the
 2023-2025 interagency agreement, which was $50 million per biennium to manage workforce and career strategies funded
 through CRP in partnership with Workforce Development Councils.

 Pass Through Grants - Based on the amount appropriated for the implementation of HB 2523, all remaining CRP funds
 after administrative and other contract costs are deducted will be granted out to communities to implement CRP programs.

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.

 Sec. 4 of HB 2523 directs the Washington State Institute for Public Policy (WSIPP) to conduct a study researching,
 analyzing, and determining, to the extent practicable, the Department of Commerce's distribution of and the recipient
 organizations' use of the funds allocated under the community reinvestment account in RCW 43.79.567.
 In conducting the study, WSIPP may conduct fact-finding and stakeholder discussions with the Department, the office of
 equity, organizations that received funds, and organizations that were eligible for funds but did not receive funds.

 A report is due to the legislature by June 30, 2027.
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.

 In order to complete the assignment outlined in Sec. 4 of HB 2523, WSIPP would assign the following resources:

 FY27:
 -0.79 FTE Researcher to submit data requests, conduct outreach, process and analyze the data, and write the report.
 -0.06 FTE Methods Review to develop a study plan.
 -0.06 FTE Editing/Publication for publication.

 *Goods and other services include a 12% indirect rate for The Evergreen State College.
