Improving government efficiency through amending and repealing obsolete statutory language.

HB 2408 repeals several outdated state statutes related to government operations, including obsolete salary rules (RCW 41.06.155), background checks for child access (RCW 41.06.475), and performance-based awards (RCW 41.06.560). It also amends RCW 41.04.665, which governs state employee leave policies, to update eligibility criteria and administrative procedures. The bill directly affects state government agencies by removing redundant or outdated legal language, streamlining operations without creating new policies. This is a procedural efficiency measure focused on modernizing statutory references, not altering substantive employee benefits or public programs.
