WA HB2059

Private entities receiving state grants (as grantees or subgrantees) must publicly disclose within 5 business days: employee names and wages, board member names and compensation, political contributions from the previous 4 election cycles, names of employed or contracted lobbyists, and an accounting of how grant funds were spent

State and local agencies awarding grants funded wholly or partially by state funds must ensure grantee compliance with disclosure requirements

Noncompliance results in forfeiture of the grant award and requires the private entity to reimburse the full amount of funds received

"Grant" excludes business transactions for procurement of goods and services; "private entity" includes firms, corporations, partnerships, nonprofits, and other nonpublic entities

Creates a new chapter in Title 19 RCW governing these disclosure requirements
