Summary: The House Appropriations Committee held a public hearing on the proposed substitute House Bill 2289 operating budget. Staff briefed the committee on the budget outlook, including near-general-fund resources, assumed revenue legislation, transfers from the Budget Stabilization Account, maintenance costs, policy-level spending and savings, and the chair’s administrative reduction policy. Members asked for clarification on the higher education building-account/Climate Commitment Act financing mechanism, and staff explained how the operating, capital, and surplus-fund pieces interact. Amendment deadlines were also announced. Public testimony was extensive and largely focused on the budget’s impacts on K-12 education, early learning and child care, higher education, long-term care, behavioral health, disability services, public defense, local government, and climate-related programs. Many speakers opposed cuts to transition to kindergarten, local effort assistance, Running Start, school bus depreciation, and higher education support, while others urged restoration of funding for child care, energy assistance, victim services, the Recovery Navigator program, therapy services under Medicaid, assisted living and skilled nursing, and services for people with developmental disabilities. Several witnesses also supported wildfire prevention and forest health funding, public health and reproductive health investments, and civil legal aid. A number of agencies and organizations thanked the committee for preserving or restoring specific items, including wildfire response funding, court interpreter and visitor programs, public health services, and some behavioral health and long-term care investments. Others urged changes, such as restoring the Public Works Assistance Account, maintaining the organized retail crime pilot, funding mentoring and youth services, and extending support for the Washington College Grant for certain vocational students. No votes or final committee action were taken during the hearing.
