The bill outlines election procedures, term lengths, and district boundaries for the new commissioner positions.

Substitute House Bill No. 519, originally sponsored by Representatives Lysen, Sommers, and North, provides for nine port commissioners to be elected from districts coextensive with county councilman districts in Class AA counties. The bill amends multiple sections of RCW chapter 53.12 to establish nine commissioner districts aligned with county councilman districts, replacing the previous three-member commission structure for port districts in Class AA counties. It outlines election procedures, term lengths, and the transition from the existing commission structure.
