Adds fusion energy facilities to the list of energy facilities requiring site certification in Washington.

This bill amends the state's energy facility siting law to include fusion energy facilities among those requiring site certification. Fusion energy facilities must secure required licenses and registrations for radiation control from state or federal agencies. The bill also updates definitions and provisions related to energy facilities, clean energy products, and electrical transmission facilities. It ensures that the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council consults with local governments and federally recognized tribes during the siting review process.
