The bill reenacts and amends RCW 43.155.150 to continue and formalize an interagency, multijurisdictional system improvement team (referred to in the findings as "SYNC") by removing prior expiration language. It specifies the team's composition (including the Public Works Board as a member and facilitator, the departments of Ecology, Health, and Commerce, the Transportation Improvement Board, the Department of Transportation as a possible invitee, other infrastructure programs, users and builders of projects, and various state associations), duties, facilitation, and reporting requirements. The team is required to identify, implement, and report on system improvements that achieve the statute’s listed projectand system-level outcomes. The bill changes a procedural reporting requirement by setting the start date for biennial reports to "Beginning November 1, 2026" and requires those reports to be submitted to the appropriate legislative committees in compliance with RCW 43.01.036. Each report must include a list of all projects funded by team members, descriptions of coordination with other grant programs and funds leveraged, and descriptions of regional planning that has occurred. The act is declared an emergency and takes effect June 30, 2025. This is a statutory modification and procedural change to an existing law rather than the creation of a new crime or penalty. The bill reenacts and amends RCW 43.155.150 and removes the prior sunset, but the provided material covers only Sections 1–3 of the bill and does not include any other possible statutory changes or the original 2017 directive language that first created the team.

If enacted, the existing interagency team known informally as SYNC would continue past its prior June 30, 2025 end date and take on an ongoing, formalized role coordinating state infrastructure programs. The Public Works Board would run the group and, together with departments like Ecology, Health, Commerce, the Transportation Improvement Board, and invited partners such as the Department of Transportation and local government and trade associations, would need to keep identifying and implementing system improvements and produce a biennial report to the Legislature beginning November 1, 2026 that lists projects funded by members, describes coordination with other grant programs and leveraged funds, and summarizes regional planning done. The most affected parties are the Public Works Board (which gains facilitation responsibility) and the named member agencies, plus local governments, project builders, and the listed associations who will be expected to participate and provide information. Expect increased ongoing staff time and administrative costs to support coordination and reporting, potential efficiency gains from better coordination of grants and planning, and some risk that those added duties will have to be absorbed without new funding; the text does not specify new budget resources or some implementation details, so how those costs and responsibilities are resourced is unclear.
