HB 1520 - DIGEST |
Finds that implementation of Washington's sustainable energy agenda is being impeded due to the fragmented division of responsibilities among the state-based energy agencies and institutions and the lack of a central coordinating agency that ensures cooperation and the execution of a strategic plan. |
Declares an intent to: (1) Centralize and integrate state energy programs and certain regulatory functions that are currently spread throughout state government into one central office called the sustainable energy office; and |
(2) Ensure staffing resources are allocated in the most efficient and effective manner possible, eliminate the duplication of services, and ensure the execution of policies adopted by the legislature. |
Creates the sustainable energy office. |
