Who Is Most Affected

Lourdes E. Alvarado Ramos (appointee)Mixed Impact

As the appointee, Ms. Alvarado Ramos gains a six-year term on a state advisory body with influence over parks and recreation policy. However, the role is unpaid and advisory, so the personal benefit is limited to civic engagement and professional recognition, not economic gain.

Parks and Recreation Commission (as an institution)Mixed Impact

The commission benefits from added representation and potentially broader community perspectives, but since it is an advisory body with no direct budget or regulatory authority, the functional impact is minimal.

General public users of Washington state parks and recreation programsMixed Impact

State parks and outdoor recreation programs may gain from enhanced stakeholder input, but since the commission has no direct control over funding, staffing, or operations, the practical impact on service delivery is negligible.

Local governments (e.g., county and city parks departments)Mixed Impact

Local governments and park districts that coordinate with the state commission may benefit from improved interagency coordination, but this bill does not alter funding, authority, or mandates affecting local operations.

Private recreation, tourism, and outdoor retail businessesMixed Impact

No direct impact, as the bill does not alter business regulations, licensing, or procurement rules affecting private recreation or tourism operators.
