Concerning the display of previous campaign memorabilia within a legislative office.

SB 5842 explicitly permits state legislators to display old campaign items (like signs, buttons, or posters from past elections) in their legislative offices, as long as the items are from inactive campaigns and used for historical, commemorative, or decorative purposes. This amendment to Washington state law (RCW 42.52.180) adds the display of such "previous campaign memorabilia" as a specific exception to broader rules prohibiting the use of public resources for campaign activities. It directly affects legislators and their office staff who maintain official legislative spaces. The bill does not permit displaying current campaign materials or using offices for active electioneering.
