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 Transportation Committee took up several measures and adopted amendments on multiple bills. SB 1274, as amended, removed a number of provisions from the original bill and added items including local authority to lower residential street speed limits, clarification on obscured license plates, FDOT funding for certain rural airport aviation projects, limits on yellow-light timing changes tied to red-light cameras, changes to private use of license plate readers, and other transportation-related revisions. After brief questions and supportive testimony, the committee reported the bill favorably. The committee also approved SB 1310, which was converted into a study bill directing FDOT to study advanced detection and monitoring systems at public railroad crossings and report findings and policy options to the governor and legislature. Railroad industry testimony supported the study but raised concerns about interoperability with train safety systems and suggested the study consider additional safety tools such as red-light cameras and wayside horns. The committee adopted the amendment and reported the bill favorably. SB 828, as amended, would extend sovereign immunity protections to private contractors providing public transit services on behalf of governments, with supporters saying it would reduce costs and provide certainty for transit providers, while opponents warned it was an overbroad expansion of sovereign immunity and could conflict with railroad employee protections under federal law. The committee reported that bill favorably as well. The committee then passed SB 1378, which strengthens traffic enforcement by clarifying when vehicles may be treated as abandoned, adding penalties for unlawfully attached plates or stickers, and allowing forfeiture of vehicles used to flee law enforcement even without an immediate arrest. It also approved SB 1562, which aims to prevent manufacturers from concentrating sales of certain vehicle brands through a single dealer group and instead promote competition among independent dealers. In addition, the committee unanimously confirmed a slate of appointees, and members later recorded additional affirmative votes on several bills before adjourning.

Summary: The committee heard public testimony on several bills. HB 2462 would direct the governor to create rules for countering threats from unmanned aircraft systems, including training and possible National Guard support; the prime sponsor and National Guard witnesses said it would help law enforcement respond to drone threats around major events and critical infrastructure, while one testifier supported it with suggested amendments on law enforcement authority, a web portal, and data privacy. HB 2401 would create a Washington State Boys’ and Men’s Commission, contingent on private funding through 2029; the sponsor and many supporters described concerns about boys’ and men’s outcomes in education, mental health, suicide, loneliness, workforce participation, and fatherhood, while some witnesses asked that the commission also address physical health and root causes such as fatherlessness. HB 2198 would create a statewide credential catalog and online repository for permits, licenses, and certifications, require agencies to set processing timelines, and authorize fee refunds when deadlines are missed; the Governor’s Office, business groups, labor, and agency representatives testified in support, saying it would improve transparency, predictability, and speed for workers and employers. HB 2419 would expand the Address Confidentiality Program to cover administrative law judges and certain Office of Administrative Hearings staff; OAH and county officials supported it, citing threats against judges and clerks and asking that county clerks also be included. In executive session, the committee took action on three bills. It adopted an amendment to HB 2210 on ranked choice voting and then passed the bill 4-2 with one excused. It adopted an amendment to HB 2205 making threats against sports officials, coaches, or participants in wagered events a Class C felony and then passed the bill 5-1 with one excused. It also passed HB 2249 unanimously, 6-0 with one excused, to reclassify certain WATech employees performing network and security duties. The committee then adjourned.
