Based upon estimated 2006 emission levels in Washington, this will require a reduction from present emission levels of over twenty-five percent in the next eleven years. The legislature further finds that state government activities are a significant source of emissions, and that state government should meet targets for reducing emissions from its buildings, vehicles, and all operations that demonstrate that these reductions are achievable, cost-effective, and will help to promote innovative energy efficiency technologies and practices.","path":["Title 70A","Chapter 70A.05"],"source_url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=70A.05.900","current_through":"July 15, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T03:56:56Z","sha256":"28e976f3c2c8854b1ea3c9fef14e75e41012ed071549d4be3090fbfe1340afa8","source_id":"us-wa","stale":false,"prev":"us-wa/rcw-70a.05.800","next":"us-wa/rcw-70a.10.010"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
