Creates a new temporary section in chapter 43.330 RCW requiring that when any state funds are spent on activities related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup games (including promotion, marketing, and fan-related opportunities), "the department" must ensure a material allocation of those funds is made to provide access for low-income young people in central Washington and across the state to experience the event. The new section is labeled "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1." and expires June 30, 2026. This is a procedural/allocative change to state law (it adds a new statutory requirement) rather than a change to penalties or criminal law. It imposes a duty on an agency referred to as "the department" but does not identify that department or define key terms such as "material allocation," "low-income young people," or the geographical boundaries of "central Washington." The requirement applies to any state funds expended for 2026 FIFA World Cup–related activities. The bill was read for the first time on 02/11/25 and referred to the Committee on Technology, Economic Development, & Veterans.

If enacted, state-funded promotion, marketing, or fan-related activities tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup must include a meaningful share of money to give low-income young people in central Washington and elsewhere in the state a chance to experience the event, and a designated state department will be responsible for making sure that set-aside happens. This requirement would be temporary and ends on June 30, 2026. The immediate practical effects fall on the unnamed state department charged with enforcement and on any state programs spending on World Cup-related activities, which will likely need to rework budgets or program plans to reserve funds for youth access; low-income young people are likely to see increased opportunities to attend or participate. Important implementation details are missing in the text provided—who exactly is "the department," how large a "material allocation" must be, and how "low-income young people" and "central Washington" are defined—so agencies may face uncertainty and administrative choices when carrying this out.
