Summary: The committee took up several House bills in a very busy meeting, beginning with House Bill 2515 on emerging large energy use facilities, or data centers. Staff and the sponsor described the bill’s tariff, reporting, clean energy, and tax provisions, while tribal representatives, environmental groups, utilities, local officials, and industry offered sharply divided testimony. Tribes and environmental advocates urged restoring removed provisions that would let utilities refuse service or require curtailment during energy emergencies, citing salmon, water, and reliability concerns; utilities and data center interests generally supported the bill’s direction but asked for technical changes and warned about costs, implementation, and overbroad requirements. The committee later reopened public hearing on 2515 and heard additional testimony both supporting and opposing the bill, with repeated calls to strengthen transparency, curtailment authority, and water protections, while opponents argued the bill was too punitive or would raise costs and harm development. The committee also heard House Bill 1170 on AI content notices, which would require large generative AI providers to offer provenance detection tools and disclosures for AI-generated or altered images, video, and audio, with enforcement by the Attorney General. The sponsor said the bill is intended to help Washingtonians know what is real and what is not, and to align with similar state efforts. Testimony later in the hearing included support from labor and other advocates who said the bill would help prevent digital impersonation, deepfakes, and workplace misinformation. The committee also heard House Bill 2416 on waste-to-energy facilities under the Climate Commitment Act; Spokane officials, labor, Avista, environmental groups, and Ecology testified on a proposal to provide no-cost allowances in the second compliance period while requiring a decarbonization plan and waste reduction/material recovery plan, with supporters emphasizing affordability and a tailored approach for the Spokane facility. In executive action, the committee waived the five-day rule for HB 2515 and HB 1906, then moved several bills forward. Substitute HB 1302 on utility connection charge waivers passed to Rules. HB 2338 on community-scaled weatherization projects passed to Ways and Means after an amendment was rejected. HB 2367 on coal plant treatment under the Climate Act passed to Rules after an amendment failed. Substitute HB 2496 on tribal consultation by the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council passed to Rules with amendment C adopted, while amendments D and E were rejected. Engrossed Substitute HB 2225 on AI companion chatbots, HB 2426 on PCHB appeals, HB 2606 on the Office of Privacy and Data Protection, and HB 2575 on reducing reporting obligations also advanced. For Engrossed Second Substitute HB 2215 on Climate Commitment Act compliance for fuels, amendment F was adopted, while amendments G and H were rejected, and the bill was sent to Ways and Means.
