Summary:
The Senate convened with opening ceremonies, approved the previous day’s journal, and referred committee reports and new bill introductions to the designated committees, including sending SB 6118 and SB 6292 to Ways and Means. The chamber then confirmed several gubernatorial appointments to college boards: Glenn F. Ellis to the Peninsula College Board of Trustees, Suzanne Donaldson to the Clark College Board of Trustees, and Jesse E. Johnson to the Highline College Board of Trustees, all by unanimous or near-unanimous roll call votes.
The Senate then considered and passed several bills. SB 6014, a technical cleanup to pregnancy and postpartum accommodation laws, passed 41-8 after supporters said it clarified privacy protections and removed barriers for workers. SB 5863, dealing with preservation and inspection of state historical records tied to Lakeland Village, passed 49-0. SB 5825, authorizing the Washington State Leadership Board to solicit gifts, grants, and endowments, passed 33-16 after two proposed amendments to limit administrative costs and cap contributions were rejected. SB 5874, allowing employers to correct certain unemployment insurance reporting errors, passed 49-0, and SB 5286, setting a statutory reimbursement cap for local police and fire services provided to state hospitals, passed 49-0 after an amendment set a $750,000 per-biennium maximum per facility.
The Senate also passed SB 5904, requiring nursing titles to be used only by licensed human persons, and SB 5915, updating the health technology assessment process used for coverage decisions, both unanimously. SB 5919, creating voluntary wildfire-prevention incentives for agricultural producers and fire districts, also passed 49-0. SB 5938, making adjustments to foreclosure prevention fees and exemptions, passed 49-0. SB 5957, expanding the Office of Homeless Youth Prevention and Protection Program and its advisory committee, was taken up near the end of the transcript, with supporters emphasizing youth safety and trafficking prevention; the roll call was underway when the transcript ended.
A major policy debate centered on SB 6002, which regulates automated license plate reader systems and driver privacy protections. After a proposed amendment to expand authorized uses was rejected, the bill’s striker was adopted. Supporters described the measure as a bipartisan privacy-and-public-safety balance that limits misuse and unauthorized sharing of ALPR data while preserving law enforcement utility; opponents argued it still needed more work or broader privacy protections. The engrossed second substitute passed 48-9. Another significant debate involved SB 5972, expanding interest arbitration for correctional employees in local city and county governments; supporters cited consistency and labor stability, while opponents warned of burdens on smaller counties. That bill passed 34-15. SB 5203, creating a wildlife connectivity planning and funding framework, passed 31-18 after supporters argued it would reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and improve grant competitiveness, while critics said it was too prescriptive and could affect rural land use and agriculture.

Summary:
The Senate Economic Development Committee met without a quorum, so no votes or formal actions were taken. The chair laid out several bills and resolutions for explanation and public testimony, with each item left pending subject to the call of the chair. Early items included House Bill 1240, a cleanup measure to create a single uniform definition of the Texas-Mexico border region across state law, and House Bill 2768, which would establish an IT apprenticeship credential through junior colleges and technical institutions to help fill state government technology jobs.
The committee also heard House Concurrent Resolution 90, which would encourage establishing a Texas trade and investment office in Jerusalem. Testimony on the resolution was sharply divided: one witness opposed it on foreign policy and values grounds, while a Texas Association of Business representative strongly supported it, citing Israel’s innovation and trade potential. Another major item was House Bill 4187, a committee substitute for legislation affecting the Texas Historical Commission; the sponsor described changes expanding use of trust fund money for historic sites, allowing more affiliated nonprofits, clarifying retail operations, and creating a framework for training and consistent interpretation at historic sites. A Texas Historical Commission witness explained that the bill would shift responsibility for maintaining many state-owned historical markers and monuments, including markers on private land, to the commission.
Additional measures included House Bill 2788, which would shield Texas Workforce Commission fraud-prevention methods from public information requests; House Bill 5032, directing state agencies to plan for public display of the Texas Declaration of Independence, Texas Constitution, and the Victory or Death letter at the Capitol Complex; House Bill 3146, which would eliminate outdated memoranda-of-understanding requirements for certain State Office of Administrative Hearings arrangements; and House Bill 4815, a cleanup bill modernizing economic development statutes, revising the Made in Texas standard to 51% Texas-origin content, repealing the Governor’s Broadband Development Council, and making other conforming changes. The committee ended by recessing, with members indicating they would likely vote on pending business later when a quorum was available.

Summary:
The House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee heard public testimony on House Bill 2279, which would require the Department of Agriculture to establish a program and criteria to evaluate PFAS chemicals in fertilizers and pesticides. The prime sponsor argued PFAS are persistent “forever chemicals” that pose environmental and health risks and said Washington should begin acting now, while some members questioned whether the bill would duplicate federal EPA review and could disadvantage Washington agriculture. WSDA testified that the bill is implementable but would require rulemaking, ongoing staff resources, and likely a 12-month extension to complete stakeholder engagement; agricultural and pesticide industry witnesses opposed the bill as duplicative of federal oversight and warned of market impacts, while environmental groups supported it as a needed step to reduce PFAS exposure in food and agriculture. The committee took no action on the bill during the hearing.
The committee also heard House Bill 2463, which would expand and rename the Washington Commodity Donation Program and create a farm-to-food pantry program to help hunger relief organizations buy Washington-grown food directly from farmers. The sponsor said the bill responds to reduced federal food security support and is intended to strengthen local food access and support farmers. Testimony was broadly supportive from food banks, hunger relief organizations, tribal farms, AARP, and several growers, who said the program helps move fresh produce, dairy, and protein to people in need and supports local agriculture. Several witnesses, however, raised concerns that language limiting participation to organizations that “solely” do this work could exclude many existing food hubs, distributors, and regional partners; others requested amendments to include tribally owned small-scale farms, food hubs, and broader distribution networks. No vote was taken on HB 2463.
After the hearings, the committee recessed for caucus and then held executive session on House Bill 1941, which authorizes licensed cannabis producers to form agricultural associations and engage in collective processing, handling, and marketing. The sponsor and chair described it as a parity measure to help smaller cannabis producers organize and compete, while opponents argued it was premature given ongoing federal marijuana scheduling issues and that the bill’s scope was too broad. The committee approved the bill on a 6-5 vote and reported it out with a due pass recommendation. The chair also announced that executive action on House Bill 2238 would be deferred until the following day due to pending amendments.

Summary:
The Labor and Workplace Standards Committee heard testimony on several bills. House Bill 2303 would prohibit employers from requesting or coercing employees to receive microchip implants, with enforcement through L&I complaints, civil penalties, and private lawsuits; Rep. Thomas said it would prevent a practice not currently used in Washington. House Bill 2144 would require employers to give written notice before using electronic monitoring for employee performance evaluations, with L&I penalties and a private right of action; supporters said workers should know how they are monitored, while business, local government, trucking, retail, banking, and law enforcement representatives raised concerns about broad definitions, safety/security uses, and litigation exposure. House Bill 2190 would allow language access providers to bargain over compensation for missed or canceled appointments; interpreters and labor supporters said the bill would make bargaining fairer and help retain interpreters, while no opposition testimony was recorded in the excerpt.
The committee also heard House Bill 2345, a proposed substitute adjusting the employer/employee premium split for the state paid family and medical leave program to comply with IRS guidance and avoid federal tax treatment of benefits. The sponsor and supporters said the change is technical, intended to keep workers and employers harmless and avoid about $30 million in federal taxes, while some business and school district witnesses supported the goal but worried about preserving the current balance and the impact on employer costs. The hearing on 2345 was then closed.
House Bill 2191, concerning liability for unpaid wages in the construction industry, drew extensive testimony. Supporters, including workers, unions, some contractors, the Attorney General’s office, and minority builders, said wage theft is real, that upstream liability would improve accountability and help workers get paid, and that responsible contractors should not be undercut by bad actors. Opponents from contractor, business, city, trucking, and minority contractor groups argued the bill is too broad, could raise costs, discourage small subcontractors, create double liability for general contractors and property owners, and should be narrowed with safe harbors or right-to-cure provisions. Members asked about enforcement, alternative remedies, and comparisons to Oregon law; L&I said it has some existing tools but limited ability when firms go out of business. The committee closed the hearing on HB 2191 and adjourned.

Summary:
The Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee met to reorganize its leadership for the new term, renewing Representative Derek Lewis as House co-chair and Senator Steven West as Senate co-chair. The committee then approved the minutes and moved through a series of agency regulations, generally adopting staff-suggested amendments without objection.
Among the regulations reviewed were an Attorney General rule changing how a commission reviews and distributes funds and how grant reporting is handled; Personnel Board changes abolishing and renaming certain job classifications and adjusting probationary periods; an Education and Labor Cabinet rule removing references to local board of education members; several Public Protection Cabinet rules covering Board of Claims and Crime Victims’ Compensation procedures; an Alcoholic Beverage Control rule on direct-to-consumer shipping forms; and a Medicaid Services emergency regulation establishing the Kentucky Trauma Hospital Rate Improvement Program for rural hospitals serving many Medicaid patients. The committee also heard that the Board of Claims and Crime Victims’ Compensation regulations included both staff and, in one case, an agency amendment, which were approved.
The most extended discussion came on the Department for Community Based Services’ regulation increasing per diem rates for private child-placing therapeutic foster care levels 2 and 3. Committee members questioned the estimated $10 million biennial cost, the source of the funding, and why the cabinet had not yet filed regulations implementing Senate Bill 151 on kinship care. DCBS staff said the rate increase was discretionary and intended to address placement crises for children with high needs, while acknowledging they could not personally explain the budget decisions. A kinship caregiver testified in support of the rate increase but urged the cabinet to also implement SB 151 and expand support for kinship families. The committee expressed frustration over the lack of SB 151 implementation but stated the rate increase itself was appropriate and allowed the regulation to proceed.

Summary:
The Transportation Committee held public hearings on House Bill 2550 and House Bill 2645, then later took executive action on House Bills 2109, 2134, and 2323. HB 2550 would require transit agencies receiving transit support grant funds to allow free transit for degree-seeking and certificate-seeking community and technical college students. Staff said the Department of Transportation saw no fiscal impact, while local government notes projected reduced fare revenue and added administrative costs, with an estimated $10 million to $12 million annual revenue loss. Rep. Jamila Taylor and student and transit advocates supported the bill as a way to reduce barriers to education, while the Washington State Transit Association said it supported the concept but raised implementation and eligibility concerns. Several students testified in favor, describing transit costs as a burden and saying free rides would improve access to school.
HB 2645, as described in the substitute, would declare an emergency over the permanent closure of the Fairfax Bridge on State Route 165 and give WSDOT emergency authority to expedite replacement by waiving or suspending certain state requirements. Rep. Andrew Barkis said the bridge closure cut off residents and access to Mount Rainier and argued the situation warranted emergency action. Local officials, residents, recreation groups, and fire service representatives testified in support, emphasizing isolation, economic harm, and slower emergency response times. WSDOT acknowledged the closure’s impact and said it was moving forward with planning and design, but noted that much of the timeline is driven by federal requirements such as NEPA, historic preservation, and endangered species review; the agency said the bill would have limited effect on timelines. The committee then moved to executive session.
In executive action, the committee adopted a technical substitute for HB 2109, which requires covered transport of tracked vehicles with mud or debris on public highways, and reported it out with a due pass recommendation by voice vote. It also adopted an amendment to HB 2134 updating which regional transportation planning organizations must include greenhouse gas and vehicle miles traveled reductions in regional plans, then passed the substitute bill on a 16-12 vote. Finally, the committee adopted amendments to HB 2323 creating the Blue Envelope Program for neurodiverse drivers during traffic stops, including broader terminology and a web-page/resource-sharing provision, and reported the substitute bill out unanimously by voice vote. The meeting ended with adjournment.
