House Bill 2043 (H-1950.3) adds a new statutory section labeled "Sec. 1" that contains legislative findings and states the legislature's intent to establish additional transportation revenue sources from a range of sources so the state's transportation system can maintain its level of service. The bill text available identifies Representatives Fey and Parshley as sponsors and shows the bill was read for the first time on 03/21/25 and referred to the Committee on Transportation. Legally, the available text creates a new section expressing legislative intent and findings rather than specifying operative rules or amendments to existing code. The extract does not create any new crimes, change penalties, or set out procedural enforcement mechanisms; it is an introductory or intent provision in the bill as provided. Important specifics are missing from the provided material: there are no definitions, no citations to the Revised Code of Washington or placement within existing statutes, no concrete funding mechanisms or sources listed, and no effective dates, deadlines, or implementation details. Because those details are not included in the extracted facts, it is not possible to determine from this text what statutory changes, programs, or enforcement actions (if any) the bill would ultimately establish.

If enacted, this section would formally state the legislature’s intent to identify and create additional transportation revenue sources so the state can maintain current levels of service. In practical terms it sets a policy direction and justification—citing rising construction costs and declining fuel tax receipts as reasons— but it does not itself change funding, impose new taxes or fees, or create programs because no specific revenue mechanisms or statutory changes are included in the text provided. The people most affected would be Washington residents and motorists, who may face future proposals that could increase costs, but there are no immediate changes to their obligations or payments. The Legislature, the House Transportation Committee, and state transportation agencies are the bodies most likely to act on this declared intent; however, key implementation details, timelines, and the actual revenue sources remain unspecified, so the scope and timing of any real financial impact are uncertain.
