Summary: The committee received a detailed staff presentation on Washington State Ferries’ capital needs, current fleet status, and long-range funding outlook. Staff described the current service pattern, ridership recovery since the pandemic, the aging fleet, and the state’s plan to add three new hybrid-electric Olympic-class vessels under the 2025 budget, with delivery expected around 2030-2032. Members also heard that the fleet is operating with no reserve vessel, that preservation time is below the desired level, and that terminal electrification and vessel conversion plans face timing, cost, and procurement risks. Questions focused on ridership trends, biofuel supply, design-risk allocation in vessel contracts, sequencing of terminal electrification with new vessel delivery, and the cost and feasibility of restoring international Sidney service, which would require a SOLAS-certified vessel. Staff then outlined ferry capital funding, saying recent spending and programmed needs are far above regular ferry-specific revenues and that the system relies on a mix of dedicated accounts, transportation package money, federal grants, and transfers. They said the near-term budget is balanced through 2027-29, but the longer-term capital outlook shows a shortfall of roughly $250 million to $300 million per biennium, with broader unmet needs much higher. The presentation estimated costs for future vessels, life extensions, terminal electrification, and additional Jumbo Mark II conversions, and noted that the current enacted plan does not fully fund fleet replacement, full electrification, or life extension of older vessels. Members asked for follow-up information on terminal seismic/environmental issues, contract options for additional vessels, and the timing and cost of alternative vessel designs. The committee then shifted to WSDOT maintenance and preservation. Pascoe Focktich described maintenance operations, including winter response, guardrail repair, facilities, equipment, and the effects of underfunding and inflation. He said most of the maintenance budget is fixed cost and labor, that material prices have risen sharply, and that many facilities are in poor condition with asbestos issues and deferred upkeep. He also noted growing guardrail damage, increasing pavement claims, and the burden of maintaining aging bridges and facilities. Members asked about prior planning for these needs, the role of asbestos, and whether more proactive sequencing could help budget decisions. Troy Suing then presented the highway preservation program, saying WSDOT is in the early stages of critical failure and has stretched preservation dollars as far as possible. He explained the distinction between pavement, bridge, and other highway asset preservation, said the department is largely reactive, and estimated that delaying work can make it three to five times more expensive later. He said about 40% of roadways are currently due or overdue for preservation, bridge conditions are nearing the federal poor-bridge threshold, and the department’s 10-year preservation need is about $8 billion. Members asked about the cost of deferring work, whether the department could do more if funded, how priorities are set, and whether other states face similar problems. Finally, Evan Grimm and Mike Fay briefed the committee on bridge strikes by overheight vehicles. They described recent incidents on I-90 near Cle Elum and SR 410 near White River, the damage and closures caused, and possible countermeasures such as public outreach, improved trip-planning tools, and a pilot warning system with sensors and flashing beacons. Fay explained the state’s financial recovery process for third-party damage, saying WSDOT recovers roughly $20 million per biennium and about 78% to 80% of billed damages, with money going to the motor vehicle fund. Members asked about prevention, insurance recovery, and whether the state uses claim data to inform future design or safety changes.

Summary: The committee received a detailed staff presentation on Washington State Ferries’ capital program, service levels, fleet age, and long-term funding needs. Staff said the system is operating with 21 vessels, no Sidney, B.C. service, and limited spare capacity, which leaves service vulnerable to disruptions. They described aging vessels, deferred preservation work, dry dock constraints, terminal needs, and the state’s electrification plan, including three new hybrid-electric Olympic class vessels now funded, one Jumbo Mark II conversion, and several terminal electrification projects. Members asked about ridership trends, biodiesel supply, procurement risk, sequencing of terminal electrification with new vessels, and the possibility of restoring international service; staff said many of those questions would need follow-up with the department. The presentation emphasized that current funding covers near-term needs, but long-term ferry capital needs exceed available resources by roughly $250 million to $300 million per biennium, with additional future needs not yet funded. The committee then heard from WSDOT maintenance operations staff on the condition of the highway system. The presentation said maintenance is increasingly reactive because of underinvestment, rising material costs, and the addition of new assets without corresponding operating funds. Staff highlighted winter operations, facilities that are mostly in poor or critical condition, a large equipment fleet, growing guardrail damage, and increasing pavement and bridge preservation backlogs. Members asked about asbestos in facilities, the effect of deferred maintenance, and whether the agency had previously warned about these needs. Staff said the program is funded at only about half of its facility need and that more than 40% of roadways are due or overdue for preservation. A separate preservation presentation focused on highways and bridges. Staff said WSDOT is below the lowest life-cycle cost for preservation and that delaying work can make repairs three to five times more expensive later. They reported that about 40% of roadways need preservation now, bridge conditions are nearing the federal poor-bridge threshold, and the agency is prioritizing the highest-risk bridge and closure threats first. The presentation cited an estimated $8 billion 10-year preservation need to change the trajectory of the system. Members asked about prioritization, whether other states face similar issues, and whether a cost-benefit analysis of earlier repairs versus later costs had been done; staff said they would look into those questions. Finally, the committee heard about bridge strikes and financial recovery. WSDOT bridge staff described recent overheight vehicle strikes on Bullfrog Road over I-90 and SR 410 over White River, noting the safety risks, closures, and repair costs. They outlined countermeasures such as improved trip-planning tools, outreach, and a possible sensor/beacon pilot on SR 410. Financial recovery staff said the agency collects about $20 million per biennium from third-party damage claims, recovering roughly 78% to 80% of billed amounts, with insurance claims and collections used to recoup costs. Members asked about prevention feedback loops and where recovered money goes; staff said recoveries go to the motor vehicle fund and that there is not a formal routine mechanism for design or policy changes from individual claims.

Bills: SB342 , SB1303 , SB1347
Summary: The Assembly Business and Professions Committee heard several measures, beginning with SB 1347, which clarifies that stock albuterol may be authorized in all public schools, including preschools. The bill was presented as a technical cleanup to existing law and received support from the California Society for Respiratory Care and the American Academy of Pediatrics. There was no opposition, and the committee approved it on a due pass vote. The committee then considered AB 2772, the sunset bill for the California Council for Interior Design Certification. Supporters said it would extend the council’s sunset date and recognize its quasi-public status by applying transparency and accountability requirements. Opposition came from the International Interior Design Association, which argued the council had not complied with open meeting laws and objected to expanded authority to levy civil penalties. The committee nevertheless concurred in the Senate amendments and passed the bill. SB 1303, the sunset bill for the California Board of Naturopathic Medicine, was heard next after major amendments removed disputed scope-of-practice language. The board and its supporters emphasized consumer protection, title clarity, and enforcement against unlicensed activity, while several medical and professional groups that had opposed earlier versions said they were removing opposition or moving to neutral. The committee passed the bill as amended. Finally, SB 342, the Contractors Licensure Fairness Act, was presented as a measure to allow contractors to recover payment for work performed while licensed, even if there was a lapse in licensure during a long project, rather than forfeiting the entire contract value. Supporters said this would prevent unfair windfalls and reduce litigation; opponents, including Los Angeles Unified School District and local government groups, argued it would reward contractors who fail to maintain licenses and weaken consumer and public protections. The committee approved SB 342 as amended. The meeting also included extended thanks and farewell remarks for committee consultant Bill Lewis, who was retiring after many years of service.
