The bill creates a new state law by establishing the Washington state commission on boys and men in the Office of the Governor and adds a new chapter to Title 43 RCW (sections 1–4). It creates an executive director position, appointed by and serving at the governor’s pleasure, who hires staff, monitors and advocates on legislation affecting boys and men, coordinates with specified state commissions and agencies, acts as a public–private liaison, and maintains a list of eligible nominees. The commission is an 11‑member nonlegislative voting body (members appointed by legislative leaders and the governor with specified consideration of nominees and diversity) plus four nonvoting legislative advisory members; initial and staggered terms and filling of vacancies are specified, a simple majority is a quorum, and reimbursement authorities for members are referenced to existing RCW sections. Substantive duties established for the commission include serving as a clearinghouse for related state legislation, identifying and defining the needs of boys and men with attention to disaggregated data, consulting with state agencies about policy effects, holding public hearings, gathering data and providing resource/referral information, submitting a biennial report to the governor and appropriate legislative committees in compliance with RCW 43.01.036, and advocating for removal of legal and social barriers. The commission may consult with nonprofit and faith‑based organizations, enter into agreements with public and private entities, adopt rules under chapter 34.05 RCW, and solicit and expend public or private gifts, grants, and endowments subject to reporting to the Office of Financial Management semiannually; private funds may not replace legislative appropriations and must fund authorized projects not otherwise funded by the legislature. This is a creation of a new administrative body and associated procedural duties and authorities (rulemaking, reporting, contracting, fundraising), not a criminal law change and it does not alter penalties. Important details are not included in the provided text: no appropriation or budget and no staff size are specified, there is no effective date given, the exact legislative committees that must receive the biennial report are not named, the phrase “experiences of boys and men in other court systems” is not defined, and the timeline or process for initial appointments and the first meeting is not specified.

If enacted, this bill creates a new commission on boys and men inside the governor’s office with an executive director (appointed by the governor) and an 11-member voting panel plus four nonvoting legislative advisors. The commission will monitor and advocate on laws affecting boys and men, coordinate with specified state commissions and agencies, gather data, hold public hearings, consult nonprofits and faith‑based groups, submit a report to the governor and the legislature every two years, and may accept private gifts and grants that must be reported to the Office of Financial Management twice a year and cannot replace legislative funding. The governor’s office, legislative leaders (who make appointments), state agencies (required to provide assistance and be consulted), and the Office of Financial Management are the most affected entities; they will face new responsibilities for appointments, coordination, data sharing, and reporting. The measure creates likely new costs for an executive director’s salary, commission staff, and member reimbursements under existing statutes, but it does not specify any appropriation, staff size, effective date, or which legislative committees receive the biennial report, so the timing and magnitude of budget and staffing impacts are unclear.
