Summary:
The committee first handled pending business, including reconsidering a failed vote on SB 715 and then reporting several measures favorably. SB 1978 was reported from committee on a committee substitute, and a series of House bills — including HB 431, HB 1522, HB 1922, HB 3228, HB 3229, HB 3803, HB 3804, HB 3805, HB 3806, HB 4219, HB 4238, HB 434, HB 1584, and HB 4739 — were moved out of committee, most to the local and uncontested calendar. The votes on these items were overwhelmingly or unanimously in favor, with committee substitutes adopted where applicable.
The committee then heard HB 2963, a right-to-repair bill for consumer electronics. The author said the bill would require manufacturers to provide parts, tools, and documentation on fair and reasonable terms while preserving trade secrets and excluding certain categories such as medical devices, motor vehicles covered by an MOU, critical infrastructure, and commercial-only transactions. Supporters from the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Environment Texas argued it would strengthen property rights, help small businesses, and reduce e-waste. Opponents, including representatives of SafeLight Auto Glass and LKQ, said they supported right-to-repair in principle but objected to the bill’s automotive MOU exemption and broader scope, warning it could create uncertainty and leave some manufacturers and repair shops outside the framework. The bill was left pending after testimony.
Members also heard HB 2467 on salary parity for State Fire Marshal investigators, HB 252 on allowing some state agencies to pay certain employees twice monthly, HB 2468 on public improvement district notice and a buyer’s right to terminate, HB 4386 on annuity contract exchanges and surrender timelines, HB 4751 creating a Texas Quantum Initiative and related fund, and HJR 175 proposing a constitutional amendment protecting Texans’ ability to use mutually agreed-upon mediums of exchange, including cash, bullion, and digital currency. Testimony on HB 4751 was largely supportive but included questions about whether the state needs a new coordinating structure and funding mechanism for quantum research and commercialization. HJR 175 drew discussion about barter, taxes, and concerns over central bank digital currency. Each of these items was left pending after hearing testimony.
The committee also heard HB 2221, which would update insurance anti-rebating laws to allow more wellness and value-added services in life and health insurance, with supporters saying it would encourage healthier behavior without requiring data monitoring. Finally, the committee took up a package of utility and wildfire-related bills from Chairman King’s portfolio: HB 106, requiring oil and gas operators to maintain certain overhead electrical lines; HB 144, requiring utilities to submit pole inspection and management plans to the PUC; and HB 145, requiring wildfire mitigation plans and allowing utilities to self-insure under certain conditions. Utility, co-op, and insurance representatives generally supported the safety and resiliency goals of HB 144, while asking for clarifications and less frequent reporting; HB 145 was introduced as a broader wildfire-risk and liability measure. These bills were also left pending after testimony.

Summary:
The committee first heard public hearing testimony on House Bill 2102, which would sharply limit legal financial obligations by prohibiting courts from imposing costs unless specifically authorized by statute, repealing many fees and costs, ending interest on restitution, and making certain eliminated debts unenforceable and void. The sponsor and supporters argued that LFOs are ineffective, unevenly imposed, and create long-term debt that hinders reentry, while opponents from cities and collections interests warned the bill would preempt local discretion, shift costs to local governments, and reduce funding for probation, supervision, and related services. Some testimony supported the bill’s relief for indigent defendants but raised concerns about restitution interest and implementation details, and one Pierce County representative requested a clerical amendment to help clear thousands of unenforceable old LFOs.
The committee then heard House Bill 2161, which would expand the Attorney General’s authority to issue civil investigative demands for possible violations involving civil rights, labor standards, jail standards, police conduct, and related laws. Supporters from the Attorney General’s office, labor groups, and police-accountability advocates said the bill would make investigations faster and more effective, especially in wage theft and discrimination cases, while opponents from law enforcement, cities, retailers, and collectors argued it was an overbroad expansion of power with insufficient standards, due-process protections, and safeguards for local agencies and businesses. Several members asked about the bill’s standards for issuing CIDs, the process for challenging them in court, and how the authority would be constrained if used in bad faith; the sponsor’s office said existing legal and professional-responsibility limits and court review would provide protection.
Finally, the committee took testimony on House Bill 2332, which would regulate automated license plate reader systems by limiting authorized uses, restricting sharing and retention of data, barring certain uses such as immigration enforcement and tracking protected activity, and creating enforcement provisions. Supporters, including privacy, reproductive-rights, and civil-liberties advocates, said the bill is needed to prevent out-of-state or federal access to Washington data and to protect shield-law and privacy interests, though some urged even shorter retention periods, stronger limits on vendor access, and public-records access. Law enforcement, cities, business, and technology representatives generally supported privacy guardrails but argued the 72-hour retention limit was too short, the bill was too restrictive for investigations, and some provisions needed technical fixes or a warrant standard; several witnesses also requested amendments to clarify campus parking use, misdemeanor coverage, and data-sharing rules. No votes were taken during the hearing portion described.

Summary:
The Ways and Means Committee met on January 26, 2026, beginning with a work session on Washington’s aviation fuel tax compliance. WSDOT Aviation described its small division and explained the FAA’s long-running rules requiring aviation fuel tax revenues to be reinvested in aviation-related purposes. Staff said Washington’s current approach has been under FAA review for years, with an approved action plan in 2022, a follow-up FAA audit in 2024, and a recent FAA letter questioning some claimed offsets; the state has until February 18 to respond. Testimony emphasized that noncompliance could expose Washington to major federal grant withholding, potentially up to about $1.2 billion, and possibly litigation. Senators asked about the federal authority, who pays the taxes, and whether Boeing is affected; staff explained the taxes are state taxes paid by aircraft fuel purchasers or distributors and that the issue does not directly target Boeing manufacturing.
The committee then heard three related aviation bills. SB 5989 would redirect a portion of the state sales and use tax on aircraft fuel to the aeronautics account and require reporting on the revenue shift and aviation project impacts; supporters, including the Port of Seattle, airport managers, pilots, and port officials, said it was a measured step toward FAA compliance and airport funding. SB 5898 would redirect hazardous substance tax, petroleum products tax, and oil spill-related taxes on aircraft fuel to the aeronautics account; supporters said it would bring the state into compliance, while ports, counties, Ecology, and business groups warned it would significantly reduce funding for MTCA and other environmental programs. SB 6240 would create a new aircraft noise and air quality mitigation account funded by a portion of hazardous substance tax revenue for Commerce-run grants to affected communities; it drew support from some community and environmental justice advocates and opposition from airport groups and business organizations, which argued it would further divert MTCA funds and was not the best path to FAA compliance.
The committee also heard SB 6244, which would extend a hazardous substance tax exemption for certain pesticides from 2028 to 2038. Agricultural groups and warehouse/logistics representatives supported the bill, saying it helps keep crop protection products stored in-state and supports food security and rural jobs. Next, SB 6231, a governor-request bill, would repeal the sales and use tax exemption for data center refurbishments and replacement server equipment. OFM and counties supported it as a revenue-raising measure, while data center companies, utilities-related employers, and industry groups opposed it, warning of lost investment, jobs, and competitiveness. SB 6228 would repeal the preferential B&O rate for prescription drug resellers; OFM supported it as an outdated preference, while pharmacies, wholesalers, grocers, and business groups opposed it, arguing the tax would be passed through to pharmacies, hospitals, insurers, and patients and could worsen pharmacy closures. Finally, SB 6220 would broaden a property tax exemption for nonprofit low-income homeownership projects so the exemption survives certain transfers and temporary community uses; it had no public testimony, and the sponsor said it was intended to narrowly protect a community land trust project from losing its exemption because of limited community use. The last bill, SB 5880, would allow blood and breath toxicology results to be admissible if tested by certified/accredited labs, not just the state toxicologist’s lab; Seattle, prosecutors, and the State Patrol supported it as a way to reduce long DUI toxicology backlogs, while counties raised equity and cost concerns and suggested a more limited pilot approach.

Summary:
The committee first took up executive action on several bills, deferring action on HB 2091 and HB 2243 and advancing HB 2264. HB 2264 would allow workers who voluntarily participate in an employer-initiated layoff or reduction-in-force plan to receive unemployment insurance benefits if their separation results from the plan. Supporters said it would remove confusing language and help laid-off workers access benefits; a member noted similar confusion from past layoffs. The committee voted 9-0 to report HB 2264 out of committee with a due pass recommendation.
The committee then heard HB 2091, which would extend existing collective bargaining information-sharing requirements to state agencies and certain other public employers covered by the Personnel System Reform Act. The bill would require those employers to provide unions with employee contact and job information, including personal email addresses, so unions can communicate with represented workers. The prime sponsor and union witnesses said the change would close a gap left by prior legislation and improve communication; there was no opposition testimony in the excerpt, and action on the bill was deferred.
The bulk of the meeting focused on HB 2218, a workers’ compensation bill that would expand provider choice, require notice to injured workers about their right to choose providers, limit employer steering, allow deviation from treatment guidelines when medically appropriate, speed utilization review, expand continued treatment and reopening options for certain claims, and require written notice and appeal rights when providers are removed from the network. Supporters, including labor, injured-worker advocates, firefighters, and physicians, said the current system delays care and over-relies on rigid guidelines; opponents from business groups and the Department of Labor and Industries warned the bill would weaken evidence-based standards, increase costs, and create vague new penalties. No vote was taken on HB 2218 in the excerpt.
The committee also heard extensive testimony on HB 2105, as proposed substitute, which would require employers to notify workers after an ICE Form I-9 inspection notice, share inspection results, post worker-rights notices, and limit voluntary disclosure of worker records without a subpoena or warrant, with enforcement by the Attorney General and private lawsuits. Supporters framed the bill as a due-process and worker-protection measure for immigrant workers and mixed-status families, while business and county representatives argued the notice and record-sharing requirements, short timelines, and penalties were too burdensome and could conflict with federal enforcement or discourage hiring. No final action on HB 2105 was taken in the excerpt.
