HB1761 establishes a uniform date for local elected officials to take their oath of office.

HB1761 amends the Revised Code of Washington to standardize the timing of the oath of office for local elected officials in counties, cities, towns, and special districts. The oath must be taken either up to ten days before the scheduled date of assuming office or at the last regular meeting of the governing body before the winner assumes office. This bill aims to resolve conflicts in existing laws and remove outdated statutory language.
