Summary:
The committee met in Room 430 on April 17 at 8:30 a.m. and heard several resolutions focused on Hawaii’s sister-state and international relationships. Measures discussed included SCR 184, SCR 169 SD1, SCR 47, SCR 57 SD1, SCR 170 SD1, and SCR 163 SD1. Testimony generally supported expanding or formalizing ties with Japanese prefectures and other partners, including Yamaguchi, Okayama, and Aotearoa/New Zealand, as well as maintaining the Hawaii-Taiwan relationship. DBED’s Dennis Ling explained that sister-state agreements provide a framework for broader government, nonprofit, and private-sector relationships, and cited existing exchanges in transportation, health, education, culinary rice development, biosecurity, and food innovation. Catherine Stanway of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife supported the Aotearoa measure for predator control, biosecurity, and conservation cooperation. Jerry Chang of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office testified in support of the Taiwan resolution, noting 33 years of sister-state ties and ongoing cooperation in education, culture, economy, and disaster management.
One witness raised a concern about language in SCR 57 SD1 related to double taxation, saying that portion did not relate to the sister-state relationship, but the committee chose not to amend the measure to avoid possible delay or conference issues. A committee member also asked about how sister-state relationships work and whether other states have similar country-level arrangements; Ling said Hawaii has an MOU with Israel and mentioned Singapore as another possible partner, while noting that such arrangements often depend on the governor and are not standardized across states.
After testimony, the committee voted to recommend passage of all measures as is. SCR 184, SCR 169 SD1, SCR 47, SCR 57 SD1, SCR 170 SD1, and SCR 163 SD1 were all adopted by the committee without amendments. Some members were excused during the hearing, and the meeting adjourned after the final vote.

Summary:
The committee met on February 3 and considered several bills for possible executive session, with no public hearings. Members were told that House Bill 2538 would be heard later in the session, and no action was taken on House Bills 2422, 2427, or 2589 while amendments were still being worked on. The committee then reviewed House Bill 2438, which creates the Supporting Our Early Education Degree Seekers Scholarship for early childhood education students. A proposed substitute made the scholarship a yearly $10 million allocation from the GET account, capped administrative costs at $500,000, adjusted eligibility for students who already hold an associate degree, created a scholarship account, added a statute of limitations, and required notice to GET account holders. The substitute was adopted and the bill was reported out 13-4, with supporters emphasizing early childhood educator shortages and opponents raising concerns about moving funds from GET accounts.
The committee also advanced House Bill 2525, establishing a heritage orchard program at Washington State University. A proposed substitute removed requirements related to preserving orchards and propagating rare apple breeds, and an amendment added a null and void clause; the bill passed 17-0. House Bill 2586, which automatically qualifies Passport to Careers students for the Washington College Grant and aligns financial-need calculations with federal formulas, also passed unanimously. House Bill 2458, expanding Washington College Grant eligibility to certain non-degree credential programs, was amended to require the Student Achievement Council and the College Board to propose a maximum award amount; it passed 11-6 after debate over fiscal impacts and support for trades and certificate programs.
House Bill 2474, concerning student consumer protections when institutions or programs close, was amended to narrow exemptions for certain private institutions, including Independent Colleges of Washington and Northwest Indian College, and to clarify teach-out and reimbursement rules. Supporters said it would better protect students when schools change materially or close, while opponents argued the guardrails were too restrictive for institutions; it passed 9-8. Finally, House Bill 2540, extending recertification intervals for emergency medical technicians from every three years to every six years after 10 years of Washington certification, passed 17-0, with supporters saying it would reduce redundant training while maintaining standards.

Summary:
The Post-Secondary Education and Workforce Committee met on January 27 and first took executive action on three bills. House Bill 2311, which makes administrative changes to the Workforce Education Investment Accountability and Oversight Board, was advanced with a do pass recommendation after the proposed amendment was withdrawn. Members supporting the bill said it was a modest process improvement, while some members raised concerns about transparency, accountability, and ensuring workforce dollars go directly to student success. The bill passed on a 15-1 vote. House Bill 2324, which extends tuition waiver eligibility for children of certain disabled veterans, also passed unanimously with a do pass recommendation. House Bill 288, the Dietitian Licensure Compact, was amended to delay implementation until July 1, 2028, and then advanced unanimously with a do pass recommendation.
The committee then held public hearings on several bills. House Bill 2422 would shift private security guard licensing fees from individual guards to their employers, eliminate transfer fees, and penalize companies that require reimbursement. The sponsor and labor advocates argued the current system unfairly burdens low-wage workers and contributes to high turnover, while committee members asked about whether the license is tied to the company, the size of the turnover rate, and whether lowering or eliminating fees might be an alternative. House Bill 2438 would create the SEEDS scholarship for early childhood education degree seekers, funded by up to $10 million from the GET account if it remains sufficiently funded. The sponsor and supporters said it would help address severe early learning workforce shortages, especially in rural areas, while WASAC said it supported the concept but had concerns about using GET funds directly and suggested a new account structure to avoid conflicts with existing requirements.
The committee also heard House Bill 2525, which would create a heritage orchard program at Washington State University to register and preserve old and rare apple varieties. The sponsor and the tree fruit industry described it as a way to preserve agricultural history, support research, and promote ag education. Finally, House Bill 2586 would align Passport to Careers financial need calculations with the federal student aid formula and automatically qualify Passport students for the Washington College Grant. The sponsor, WASAC, and student testifiers said the bill would simplify aid access for foster youth and unaccompanied homeless youth; WASAC said it would absorb the modest administrative cost and clarified it was not seeking new appropriations. No final committee action was taken on the bills heard in public testimony during this meeting.
