HB1573 revises the oath of office assumption period for local officials in Washington.

HB1573 amends existing laws to standardize the date when elected officials for counties, cities, towns, and special purpose districts assume office. The oath of office must be taken between the final certification of the election and the day before the term begins. This change aims to resolve conflicts in current laws and remove outdated statutory language.
