Requires the joint legislative audit and review committee to review and report to the legislature on whether providing appointment authority of both the fish and wildlife commission, under RCW 77.04.030, and the director of the department of fish and wildlife, under RCW 77.04.055, to the commissioner of public lands would provide for a more unified public land management approach and more effective use of public resources.

Directs the joint legislative audit and review committee to also review and report on the issues surrounding consolidating the department of fish and wildlife into the department of natural resources and solutions to make the consolidation as seamless and effective as possible. The joint legislative audit and review committee shall provide a final report on this review to the legislature by December 1, 2009.
