Summary: The committee heard testimony on House Bill 2325, which would create a statewide tourism self-supported assessment program under the Washington Tourism Marketing Authority. Staff explained the bill would let tourism-related businesses vote on and fund a new assessment program, overseen by a ratepayer board, with a new public records exemption for business financial information. The prime sponsor and supporters from State of Washington Tourism, hospitality, breweries, wine, and the Port of Seattle said the bill would provide sustainable, industry-led tourism funding and help Washington compete with other states. Opponents argued it would amount to another tax on businesses and raised concerns about unelected bodies having taxing authority. The hearing on HB 2325 was then closed. The committee then heard House Bill 2481, which would prohibit surveillance-based pricing, surge pricing, and certain electronic shelf label uses in grocery stores, while requiring price transparency and a Commerce study on electronic shelf labels. The sponsor said the bill is intended to stop individualized, data-driven pricing that could charge different customers different amounts for the same item. Labor and consumer advocates supported the bill, saying it would protect shoppers and workers from unfair pricing and confusion. Grocery and retail groups opposed the bill as drafted, warning that the definitions could unintentionally restrict loyalty programs, discounts, inventory management, markdowns, and electronic shelf labels that improve efficiency. Members and the sponsor discussed possible amendments, and the hearing was closed. House Bill 2503, regulating artificial intelligence training data, was then heard. Staff said the bill would require developers of generative AI systems to post high-level documentation about training data, including sources, size, and whether copyrighted or licensed data was used, with violations treated as Consumer Protection Act violations. The sponsor said the bill is meant to provide a basic “ingredients label” for AI and build public trust. Tech industry witnesses generally supported the transparency goal but asked for clearer alignment with California’s law and raised concerns about enforcement and private rights of action. Some other testimony supported stronger enforcement and transparency. The committee closed the hearing on HB 2503 and then opened House Bill 2278, which would remove the July 1, 2027 sunset on the additional $3 per room per night lodging charge in tourism promotion areas. The sponsor said the charge has produced a strong return on investment and supports local tourism promotion; one opponent argued tourism taxes and broader state tax burdens make Washington less attractive to visitors. The hearing on HB 2278 continued with additional testimony.

Summary: The committee heard public hearings on several bills. SB 5720, the Uniform Consumer Debt Default Judgments Act, was described by staff as adding complaint, notice, and default-judgment requirements for consumer debt cases and preserving existing debt-buyer protections. Senator Peterson said the bill had been revised through stakeholder compromise, and testimony from consumer advocates and collectors was broadly supportive, with no opposition noted. The hearing was closed without a vote. SB 5833, allowing a vehicle to remain running for up to 30 minutes to protect a pet, drew support from the sponsor and some animal welfare and law enforcement stakeholders, but animal control and police representatives raised concerns about the liability presumption and said current law already allows fact-specific intervention. The sponsor said he would bring an amendment to address the liability language; the hearing closed with many pro sign-ins and a few con sign-ins. The committee also heard SB 5936 on human trafficking remedies and prevention. Staff explained that the bill would allow prosecution of business entities that knowingly engage in or benefit from trafficking or involuntary servitude, impose possible fines and disgorgement, require confidentiality for victims and families, and create a process for T and U visa certification and continued-presence requests. Senator Orwall said the bill was intended to strengthen survivor protections and accountability, while several survivors and child-advocacy witnesses strongly supported it. Hospitality and law enforcement groups supported the bill in concept but asked for amendments to clarify liability and to align the visa-certification provisions with existing law; law enforcement said some section 4 language was duplicative and likely to be amended. The hearing closed after those comments. SB 5993 would prohibit interest on new and unpaid medical debt and shorten the enforceability period for judgments involving medical debt to six years without renewal. Supporters, including consumer advocates, AARP, patient groups, and individuals with serious medical debt, said the bill would reduce financial ruin, improve affordability, and reflect the fact that people do not choose medical emergencies. Opponents from hospitals, physician groups, collectors, and business organizations argued that eliminating interest and judgment renewal would reduce repayment incentives, shift costs to providers and other patients, and hit small rural hospitals hardest; they also asked for more stakeholder work and warned about effects on mixed judgments. The committee then began SB 5375 on labeling imitation firearms, with staff explaining that it would create state standards for BB devices, toy guns, replicas, and similar items, prohibit altering markings, require advisories, and impose civil and misdemeanor penalties. The sponsor said it was intended to reduce mistaken shootings and cited a fatal incident involving an airsoft gun, while opponents from the NRA and firearms-training users argued the bill was overbroad, duplicated federal law, and could harm training, competition, and lawful firearm customization.

Summary: The committee first took up House Bill 1544, which would require DCYF to study and improve its child abuse and neglect risk assessment tool, including better identification of family strengths and needs, substance use-related risk, service needs, and ongoing reassessment, with certification every three years. Staff explained the bill had passed unanimously from committee last year as a substitute but did not advance on the House floor. Representative Ruhl, the prime sponsor, said the tool would reduce bias and help workers distinguish actual child safety risk from subjective concerns. Testimony from Partners for Our Children and DCYF supported the bill and said the current tool is not evidence-based, while members raised questions about data limitations, fiscal impact, and how the department would validate the tool and track outcomes. The hearing on the bill was then closed after a brief continuation for testimony from DCYF. The committee then held a work session on juvenile rehabilitation with DCYF Assistant Secretary Jennifer Redman and security classification administrator Jeff Indermark. They described an older JR population, longer lengths of stay, and growth driven largely by adult-sentence youth who remain in JR until age 25 before transferring to DOC. They said Green Hill School remains crowded, Harbor Heights has added some capacity but is intended as a short-term placement, and the Caseload Forecast Council projects the need for at least 50 additional JR beds over the next five years. They also reviewed classification and placement processes, the new behavior management system, and community transition services (CTS), which uses electronic home monitoring for eligible youth. DCYF reported 41 CTS referrals, 23 participants, and a 70% successful completion rate, while members asked about racial equity, community resources, escapes, staffing, after-hours support, and concerns about safety, abuse, and lawsuits. The committee next heard House Bill 2219, which would allow longer mixed-age group time at child care centers and waive repeat pre-service orientation for people who have already completed it. The prime sponsor and supporters from SEIU 925, a family child care provider, the Washington Child Care Centers Association, and the Children’s Campaign Fund Action said the bill would ease staffing pressures, help providers take meal and rest breaks, and reduce duplicative licensing burdens without compromising safety. One provider group supported the licensing flexibility but asked that the bill’s time limits on mixed-age grouping be removed or revised as too restrictive. Finally, the committee heard House Bill 2253, a DCYF technical corrections bill covering licensing and monitoring changes. Staff said it would allow child-specific licenses for certain interstate placements, exempt kinship caregivers from blood-borne pathogen training, remove physician and lawyer exemptions from licensing, allow inactive licenses to be terminated, revise license content requirements, adjust staffing ratios for crisis residential centers, and remove state monitoring requirements for the Washington School for the Deaf residential program. The prime sponsor and DCYF said the bill is intended to streamline licensing and right-size workload after prior staffing cuts. Testimony from Community Youth Services supported the crisis residential center staffing fix as budget-neutral, and Partners for Our Children supported the kinship care provisions. Members pressed DCYF on how inactivity would be defined, how licenses would be protected from errors, and why the fiscal note was zero despite the staffing and monitoring changes.

Summary: The House Health Care & Wellness Committee held public hearings on several bills. House Bill 2232 would create a time-sensitive emergency data repository for cardiac, stroke, and trauma care, with Department of Health oversight, quality improvement reporting, and support for rural facilities; emergency physicians, nurses, and DOH supported it as a way to improve outcomes and reduce rural-urban disparities, while the Washington State Hospital Association said hospitals support the goal but lack resources to absorb the added reporting burden. House Bill 1812, on the proposed substitute, would bar insurers, public employee plans, HCA, and Medicaid managed care from imposing anesthesia time limits or related reimbursement caps; the sponsor and anesthesia providers said it protects patient safety and prevents insurers from interfering with medical judgment, and the Washington State Society of Anesthesiologists asked for a clarifying amendment on physical status modifiers. House Bill 2340 would extend substance use disorder monitoring program protections and stipend eligibility to nursing assistants; the sponsor and Board of Nursing supported it as a way to reduce stigma and help participants afford treatment and monitoring, and the board said the stipend is currently funded through general funds. House Bill 2577 would require acute care hospital inspections at least every 18 months, clarify use of approved accrediting organizations, and adjust fire protection re-inspection rules; the sponsor and Department of Health said it responds to a JLARC audit and clarifies timelines after COVID-related delays, while the department said it is still working to catch up on inspections and continues complaint investigations. House Bill 2250 would limit hospital charity care eligibility to Washington residents, using residency standards similar to Medicaid and preserving emergency care coverage under EMTALA. Supporters, including border hospital officials, the Washington State Hospital Association, and Seattle Children’s, argued the current policy draws nonresident non-emergent patients and strains rural and border hospitals, especially Newport Hospital, while opponents from Columbia Legal Services, Dollar For, Northwest Health Law Advocates, and QLaw Foundation said the bill would chill access for immigrants, temporary visa holders, and people seeking reproductive or gender-affirming care, and that the real problem is hospitals failing to provide charity care to eligible patients. The sponsor said he is working with DOH on amendments to address unintended consequences, and several testifiers indicated willingness to continue stakeholder discussions. No votes were taken; the committee heard testimony and then closed public hearings on the bills before adjourning.

Summary: The committee heard testimony on several education-related bills. Senate Bill 6130 would move public high school voter registration activities from Temperance and Good Citizenship Day in January to National Voter Registration Day in September and require schools to offer Future Voter registration opportunities to eligible students. The sponsor, OSPI, county election officials, and youth advocates supported the bill as a no-fiscal-impact way to increase youth civic engagement and align school activities with election-season interest. A senator asked about possible community service credit for student participation, but no amendment was discussed and no vote was taken. Senate Bill 6247 would expand financial oversight and training for school districts in distress. It would require educational service districts to provide more direct oversight and support to districts in binding conditions or financial distress, require WASDA to provide mandatory budgeting and financial-health training for school directors, and impose stronger consequences for financial misconduct, including employment bars and possible state reimbursement of unrecovered damages. The sponsor said the bill is intended to help districts avoid insolvency, citing districts in binding conditions and the Prescott School District. OSPI supported the bill, while ESDs, WASDA, and WEA raised concerns about ESDs being placed in an enforcement role, the need for clearer definitions and possible state auditor involvement, and the scope of the employment prohibition. The committee also heard Senate Bill 6268, which would require OSPI to keep an online record of final special education community complaint decisions for 20 years instead of the current five years displayed online. OSPI supported the bill and noted a fiscal note of about $16,000 for added staff time, while advocates, parents, and disability organizations said the longer record would improve transparency, help families and districts identify patterns, and reduce repeated disputes. The committee then heard Senate Bill 6278, which would update review requirements for teacher and principal preparation programs and adjust the timing for submission of student-teacher field placement plans. The sponsor said the bill is meant to ensure educator preparation programs are aligned with classroom realities; PESB testified neutrally, saying many of the review elements already exist in rule and that the bill adds flexibility. Finally, the committee heard Senate Bill 6260, a budget-savings bill that would lengthen school bus depreciation to 15 years, withhold up to 1.9% of MSOC funds to pay for the High School and Beyond Plan platform, and reduce Running Start funding from 1.4 to 1.2 FTE. OFM supported the bill as part of the governor’s budget strategy, but nearly all other testimony opposed it, arguing it would shift costs to districts, keep older buses on the road longer, and reduce access to Running Start—especially summer Running Start—for low-income, rural, and technical-program students. Multiple college leaders, school officials, counselors, and students said the current 1.4 FTE model has increased participation, completion, and equity. No votes were taken on any of the bills in the hearing.
