Concerning the leasing authority of the state parks and recreation commission at St. Edward State Park.

SB 5300 modifies the leasing authority of the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, specifically for St. Edward State Park. The bill removes a previous 62-year maximum lease term and the requirement for a Department of Commerce study to identify viable public use before a lease could be granted at the park. Instead, it allows the commission to lease specific buildings and associated property within St. Edward State Park, such as the seminary building, pool, and gymnasium, for up to 80 years, aligning with the general maximum lease term for other state park properties.
