House Bill 2675 (2026) amends RCW 46.68.175, creates new statutory sections, and repeals eight named RCW provisions plus one session law section. The bill makes fiscal and procedural changes rather than creating a new crime or changing criminal penalties, and it includes an emergency clause making the amendment to RCW 46.68.175 effective immediately. The amended RCW 46.68.175 creates or continues an "abandoned recreational vehicle disposal account" in the state treasury into which receipts from the fee in RCW 46.17.380 must be deposited. The account may also receive transfers and appropriations from the general fund and gifts, grants, or endowments, and moneys may be expended only after appropriation. Account funds may be used to reimburse registered tow truck operators and licensed dismantlers for up to 100% of reasonable and auditable administrative costs for transport, dismantling, and disposal of abandoned recreational vehicles under RCW 46.53.010 when the last registered owner is unknown after a reasonable search effort (with compliance with RCW 46.55.100 deemed a reasonable effort). Any funds collected from the last owner of record for vehicles reimbursed under RCW 46.53.010 must be turned over to the department. Funds that originate from general fund transfers are limited to reimbursing 100% of eligible costs up to $10,000 per vehicle, and up to 15 percent of account expenditures may be used for the department's administrative expenses implementing the chapter. The bill also creates sections requiring, effective July 1, 2026, that all moneys and future revenues of the salary/insurance contribution increase revolving fund (a fund held outside the state treasury by the Office of Financial Management) be deposited into the state general fund and prohibiting the Office of Financial Management from making expenditures or transfers from that fund beginning July 1, 2026. The state treasurer is directed to transfer residual balances of any accounts abolished by the act to the general fund on July 1, 2026. The text provided does not identify which specific "department" is referenced, does not include the full content of the statutes it references (RCW 46.17.380; RCW 46.53.010; RCW 46.55.100; chapter 287, Laws of 2018), and does not describe the prior authority or purpose of the salary/insurance contribution increase revolving fund.

If enacted, the bill would concentrate the fee revenue from RCW 46.17.380 into a dedicated abandoned recreational vehicle disposal account and allow the unnamed department to use that account—only after appropriation—to reimburse registered tow truck operators and licensed dismantlers for up to 100% of reasonable and auditable costs to transport, dismantle, and dispose of abandoned RVs when the last owner cannot be found. Practically, tow companies and dismantlers are likely to face lower out‑of‑pocket risk for eligible removals (and could pursue more removals), subject to a $10,000 per‑vehicle cap when reimbursements come from general fund transfers, while the department can cover up to 15% of the account’s expenditures for its administrative work implementing the program. The bill also moves money held in the Office of Financial Management’s salary/insurance contribution increase revolving fund into the state general fund on July 1, 2026, stops OFM from spending that fund thereafter, and directs the state treasurer to transfer residual balances from several abolished accounts into the general fund; that will increase general fund resources and remove some dedicated off‑budget balances. Important details are missing here: the specific department responsible is not named, the operational rules from the other referenced statutes are not provided, and the practical effects on programs tied to the repealed accounts are unclear from the extracted text.
