This bill creates a new "capitol centennial stewardship account" in the custody of the state treasurer to receive specified gifts, grants, donations, and other receipts, and limits expenditures from that account (only after appropriation) to remodeling and repairs of state capitol public and historic facilities (as referenced in RCW 79.24.710), interpretive and educational activities, and improvements to enhance public participation in state government. It authorizes members of the legislature and statewide elected officials to solicit gifts, grants, and donations for those capitol centennial purposes and adds a new provision presuming such solicitation is not a violation of the solicitation and receipt-of-gift rules in chapter 42.52 RCW. The bill amends existing law by changing RCW 29B.45.020 to prohibit solicitation or acceptance of campaign-related contributions during specified legislative-session periods, while explicitly exempting, until June 30, 2033, the capitol centennial solicitation activities authorized in section 2 of this act. It also amends RCW 42.52.150 to redefine "gift" as anything of economic value for which no consideration is given, to add exclusions, to prohibit accepting gifts that could reasonably be expected to influence official action, and to impose a $100 annual aggregate gift limit per single source with multiple listed exceptions and rebuttable presumptions. The bill imposes reporting and other procedural rules: food and beverage gifts over $100 on a single occasion must be reported under Title 29B RCW; certain unsolicited items are presumed not to influence and may be accepted notwithstanding the $100 limit (including, until June 30, 2033, gifts for the capitol centennial purposes); there are specific staff restrictions on accepting items from regulated persons or prospective contractors; and legislative employee gift cards of $25 or less and items returned or donated within 30 days are excluded from the gift definition. Sections 1 through 3 of the act expire June 30, 2033, and any residual balance in the capitol centennial stewardship account when section 2 expires must be transferred by the state treasurer to the capitol furnishings preservation committee account. The provided text is incomplete: section 2’s full content is not included, subsection (7) of RCW 42.52.150 and any subsequent provisions are cut off, and additional implementation, oversight, or reporting details (beyond the June 30, 2033 dates) may appear in the missing material.

If enacted, the bill creates a temporary, dedicated fund held by the state treasurer to accept private gifts, grants, and donations earmarked for remodeling and repairs to state capitol historic facilities, plus related educational and public participation projects tied to the capitol centennial effort. Legislators and statewide elected officials would be allowed to solicit those donations and those specific centennial gifts are treated as exceptions to normal gift limits and to a campaign solicitation prohibition through June 30, 2033; money in the account still must be spent only after the legislature appropriates it, and any leftover balance when the centennial activity authorization ends must be moved to the capitol furnishings preservation committee account. The most affected parties are legislators and statewide officials (who gain broader authority to seek private funding), donors (who can give for centennial purposes beyond ordinary $100 per-source gift limits while reporting rules for food/beverage over $100 still apply), and the state treasurer (who holds the account and must transfer residuals at expiration). Real money for capitol repairs and public-facing programs could increase, but spending remains subject to appropriation and oversight details are incomplete here because the text of section 2 and later provisions is missing, leaving some uncertainty about exact solicitation procedures, reporting, and administration.
