Generating cost savings to the state by repealing annual reports and an advisory committee.

SB 5809 repeals three existing state reporting requirements and one advisory committee to save money. It removes mandates for: (1) an annual data confidentiality report (RCW 43.71C.100), (2) agency reports to the governor and legislature (RCW 70.330.020), and (3) a substance use recovery services advisory committee and its reports (RCW 71.24.546). The bill aims to reduce administrative costs by eliminating duplicative or outdated requirements that no longer provide sufficient value relative to their burden. This directly affects state agencies that currently produce these reports and the members of the repealed advisory committee.
