Summary:
The committee heard public hearings on several public safety bills. House Bill 2146 would expand the sexual exploitation of a minor statute to cover causing a minor to view sexually explicit conduct when that conduct is photographed or performed live. The prime sponsor, Olympia police, and Pierce County prosecutors described cases involving adults masturbating in front of children and said current law often leaves only misdemeanor charges such as indecent exposure or communication with a minor for immoral purposes. They argued the bill would better address grooming behavior, allow felony-level investigation and forensic interviews, and provide stronger sentencing and no-contact consequences. No vote was taken.
House Bill 2349 would expand notice requirements for sexually violent predator releases, conditional releases, address changes, discharges, and escapes to include local elected officials such as legislators, county leaders, and city officials. The sponsor said the bill would codify and standardize a practice that had been occurring inconsistently and would help officials respond to community questions with accurate information. Cities and DSHS supported the bill with technical amendments, while defense attorneys opposed it, warning that broader notice could undermine law enforcement’s role, fuel public pressure against releases, and create constitutional and safety concerns. The hearing was left open.
The committee also heard House Bills 2430 and 2457 together on the crime victim penalty assessment. HB 2430 would restore the assessment for certain offenses, while HB 2457 would increase the assessment and add a surcharge for defendants with substantial financial resources. Sponsors and victim advocates said the 2023 changes left victim services underfunded and caused severe staffing cuts, while prosecutors said the bills would help restore constitutionally required victim services. Defense and legal aid groups opposed both bills, arguing they would reimpose burdensome fees on people who cannot pay and worsen reentry barriers. The chair directed the two sponsors to work together on a single proposal before executive action.
House Bill 2532 would make it a gross misdemeanor to sell or distribute nitrous oxide devices or canisters, while exempting medical, dental, food, industrial, and automotive uses. The sponsor and supporters, including tribal representatives, the Attorney General’s office, public health officials, and the Washington Poison Center, described rising misuse, youth-targeted marketing, serious injuries, and deaths, and said the bill would reduce access and protect public health. A veterinary group asked for clarification on animal care uses. The hearing was held open. Finally, House Bill 2510 would require DOC supervision for people convicted of stalking who are sentenced to community custody. The sponsor said stalking is a serious crime against persons and that supervision is needed to hold offenders accountable and protect victims; the hearing began but no action was taken in the portion provided.

Summary:
The Committee on Fiscal Policy met and reported a series of bills favorably, covering health care, public safety, insurance, coastal resilience, juvenile justice, drowning prevention, transportation designations, and beach management. Senator Harrell presented CS/SB 68, requiring hospitals with emergency departments to adopt pediatric emergency care policies, training, designated pediatric readiness personnel, and participation in a national readiness assessment; it passed. Harrell also presented CS/SB 340, requiring nursing students to complete two hours of human trafficking identification training before licensure; it also passed. Senator Sharif’s CS/SB 32 and SB 210, creating a new injunction for protection against serious violence by a known person and the related public records bill, were both reported favorably. Senator Garcia’s CS/CS/SB 302 on nature-based coastal resiliency, Senator Jones’s SB 418 on law enforcement interaction with individuals with autism and the Blue Envelope Program, and Senator Martin’s CS/SB 1734 updating juvenile probation and detention officer definitions and related cost-share language were also approved.
The committee then took up several drowning-prevention measures. CS/SB 606 by Senator Smith would add drowning prevention and safe bathing education to postpartum materials and direct the Department of Health to create standardized materials; an amendment removed a records-retention requirement, and the bill passed. SB 428 by Senator Yarborough would expand the state swim lesson voucher program from children ages 0-4 to ages 1-7; it received strong support from advocates, including a young swim instructor and autism advocates, and passed. The committee also approved CS/SB 246, a specialty license plate bill that was amended to include the UFC plate and a First Responders’ Resiliency Foundation plate, and CS/SB 1028, which revises Citizens Property Insurance and clearinghouse procedures to prioritize admitted carriers and prohibit public funds for the clearinghouse; that bill drew discussion about market competition, Citizens’ exposure, and potential impacts on policyholders.
Additional measures reported favorably included SB 628, designating a portion of South Navy Boulevard in Pensacola as Warrior Sacrifice Way to honor the sailors killed in the 2019 Naval Air Station Pensacola attack, and CS/SB 636 on beach management, which would create a proactive pathway for coastal communities to obtain erosion-related designations and align with federal programs. Beach industry testimony supported the bill’s intent but raised concerns about perpetual easements and funding shortfalls. At the end of the meeting, members recorded additional votes on selected bills, and the committee adjourned.
