Concerning the administration of the Andy Hill cancer research endowment.
Senate Bill 5455 updates the administrative structure of the Andy Hill Cancer Research Endowment, which supports cancer research, prevention, and care in Washington state. The bill modifies the definition of "program administrator" to allow for one or more private nonprofit corporations to manage the endowment's activities, rather than a single entity. It also revises the specific organizations that nominate members to the endowment's governing board and grants the board greater flexibility in establishing or contracting with tax-exempt nonprofit corporations for administrative functions.

MINOR
The document was converted from a draft bill text (S-0637.1) into an official certification of enrollment. This change adds formal proof that the bill was passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, including specific vote counts and dates, and includes the signature of the Secretary of the Senate. This transforms the document from a proposed law into a certified record of the legislative process.
ENFORCEMENT
Added a formal certification block confirming the bill passed the Senate (48 Yeas, 1 Nay) and the House (95 Yeas, 0 Nays) on specific dates in 2025.
TECHNICAL
Inserted the title 'CERTIFICATION OF ENROLLMENT' and the signature line for the Secretary of the Senate to validate the bill's passage.
Removed the draft bill header 'S-0637.1' as it is no longer needed once the bill is officially enrolled and passed.
