Summary: The committee heard a lengthy public hearing on the proposed Senate capital budget, Substitute Senate Bill 6003, followed by testimony on several other capital-related bills. Staff summarized the Senate capital proposal as using debt-limit bonds, CCA funds, and other cash resources for housing and homelessness, human services, local infrastructure, flood response, water conservation, clean energy, K-12 school modernization, and higher education projects. Senators and testifiers repeatedly contrasted the Senate proposal with the House version, especially on housing, permanent supportive housing, the Housing Trust Fund, and CCA-funded climate and water projects. Public testimony on the capital budget largely focused on project-specific requests or support. Housing and human services speakers urged more funding for affordable homeownership, the Housing Trust Fund, permanent supportive housing, weatherization, and preservation of manufactured housing communities. Other testifiers asked to preserve or add funding for projects including the Quinault Indian Nation courthouse relocation, food bank facilities, the Tubman Center for Health and Freedom, the Yakima Behavioral Health Hub sobering center, Ashley House, Housing Hope’s Alliance Place, the Washington State Health Home Program, the MAPS Youth Center, the American Indian Community Center’s Forever Home, the Congolese Integration Network’s welcoming and healing center, the Seattle Chinese Garden, and several tribal, community, and health-related facilities. K-12 and higher education speakers supported small district modernization, school seismic safety, Healthy Kids Healthy Schools, WSU minor works, Western Washington University minor works, and Cascadia College’s building project. Natural resources testimony centered on floodplain restoration, community forests, tribal land return, forest riparian easements, irrigation, dairy digesters, and waste tire cleanup. Speakers urged matching House funding for Floodplains by Design, the Community Forest Program, and trust land transfer, while others supported CCA-backed clean energy and climate resilience investments. In the final public testimony segment, local government and community representatives asked for support for public works assistance, a Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank facility, a Toppenish playground replacement, a Soxwattle recreation/emergency center, and the Seattle Chinese Garden. Committee members noted amendments were due the next day at noon. The committee then took public testimony on Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2251, which would reorganize CCA accounts into operating and capital accounts, adjust revenue distributions and allowable uses, expand tribal and overburdened-community reporting and consultation provisions, and change reporting frequency. Proponents said the bill better aligns CCA spending with climate, resilience, and equity goals, while critics argued it still lacks strong effectiveness requirements and weakens reporting. The committee also heard House Bill 2353 on raising the pre-design threshold for state capital projects from $10 million to $15 million with inflation indexing, Substitute House Bill 2133 making a senior center property tax exemption permanent, Substitute House Bill 2714 requiring caseload forecasts for SNAP and state food assistance, House Bill 2431 expanding fundraising days for nonprofit public assembly halls, and House Bill 1983 adjusting real estate excise tax treatment for timberland sold to governmental entities. Testimony on these bills was generally supportive, with some questions about the pre-design waiver process and the fiscal and policy effects of the tax and forecasting changes.

Summary: The Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee considered several House bills dealing with tax credits, fee changes, school funding, and investment authority. House Bill 4426 extended the sunset on the SIDE tax credit to December 31, 2032, and passed 7-2. House Bill 3704 elected Oklahoma into the federal income tax credit for contributions to scholarship-granting organizations and passed 9-2. House Bill 4311 raised the unclaimed property division’s administrative fee from 4% to 6% to cover increased duties and costs; it passed 8-3 after debate over whether the increase was justified. House Bill 3044 reauthorized the veterans income tax checkoff and the associated capital improvement fund, and passed 10-0. House Bill 4191 revised the Smaller Employer Quality Jobs Act by lowering job thresholds, expanding qualifying locations and industries, and changing other eligibility rules; it passed 6-4. House Bill 3465 extended the emission tax credit sunset from July 1, 2027 to July 1, 2029 and passed 6-4, with opponents arguing it subsidized compliance with federal mandates. House Bill 3972, a title-off bill addressing ad valorem reimbursement issues tied to the state purchase of a prison, drew extensive debate over precedent and scope; an amendment to add a sunset failed 5-5, and the bill then passed 8-2 as amended.

Summary: The Capital Budget Committee held a hearing on proposed substitute HB 2295, the supplemental capital budget. Staff briefed the committee that the proposal totals nearly $911 million in spending, including about $400 million in bonds and significant new Climate Commitment Act funding, with major investments in housing and homelessness, K-12 construction, human services facilities, and clean energy/decarbonization projects. The chair noted the hearing would be run at one minute per testifier due to the large number of speakers. Testimony was broadly supportive of the House proposal, with many witnesses asking the committee to preserve or increase specific items in final negotiations. Speakers highlighted funding for affordable housing and homeownership, weatherization, manufactured housing preservation, early learning facilities, behavioral health and substance use treatment, school modernization and seismic safety, community health hubs, and tribal and local infrastructure projects. Several tribal, local government, and nonprofit representatives thanked the committee for projects such as the Quinault tribal courthouse replacement, Thurston County’s justice center request, the Skokomish land return, community forests, and floodplain restoration, while urging continued support in conference with the Senate. Other testimony focused on project-specific requests, including Cascadia College’s next building, Eastern Washington University’s solar array and maintenance needs, WSU deferred maintenance and health education space, the Port of Tacoma’s cleanup grant language, and the City of Kent’s request for rooftop solar funding. Environmental and climate advocates supported investments in flood resilience, clean energy, and CCA-funded programs, while some cautioned against using CCA dollars to backfill existing obligations. At the close of the hearing, the chair said the committee would not take amendments, would work on a technical fix striker, and planned to vote the bipartisan capital budget out on Thursday.
