Summary: House Finance met on Friday, January 23rd, and heard three bills. On House Bill 2194, staff explained that the bill would allow a county and a city within that county to both impose the cultural access sales and use tax at the same time, with the county providing a credit for the city tax. Representative Parsley said the change would let more jurisdictions support cultural, arts, science, and school-related programs. Olympia and Thurston County officials testified in support, describing grant funding for cultural organizations, free programming, and school access benefits; a committee member raised a question about how the change could affect county bond obligations. The committee then heard House Bill 2089, which would narrow a B&O tax preference for first mortgage interest by removing the requirement that a financial institution be located in 10 or more states, and direct the resulting revenue to the wildfire response, forest restoration, and community resilience account. Staff said the bill would raise significant revenue and have implementation costs for the Department of Revenue. Representative Scott said the bill was intended to restore wildfire funding and limit the preference to community banks, while opponents from the Washington Bankers Association and Community Bankers of Washington warned the bill could harm community banks and mortgage lending if not drafted carefully. The Department of Natural Resources and a public employee representative supported restoring wildfire preparedness funding. Finally, the committee heard a proposed third substitute for House Bill 1960, which would replace property taxation for new or repowered large renewable energy facilities and battery storage systems with a state and local excise tax structure, while also creating a local investment distribution account and a tribal capacity grant program. Staff and the sponsor described the bill as a way to reduce property tax shifts onto nearby taxpayers and provide more stable, predictable revenue for local governments and tribes. County officials, assessors, treasurers, and some clean energy and conservation groups supported the concept but asked for clearer definitions, payment timing, and rate adjustments; utilities and renewable developers said they supported the goal but opposed the bill as drafted because of concerns about the rates and the treatment of centrally assessed utilities. No votes were taken, and the committee adjourned after closing the hearings on all three bills.

Summary: The Ways and Means Committee met at 8:11 a.m. and first approved minutes from prior meetings, including March 9, March 12, March 13, and later March 16. The committee then considered several RS measures, most of them replacements for bills that had already received hearings or floor action, and in each case took action to introduce them and generally advance them to the Second Reading Calendar. Representative Cannon presented RS 33763, a community infrastructure district bill that would extend to counties a tool currently available to cities to help ensure growth pays for growth; it was introduced and sent to Second Reading. Representative Raymond presented RS 33766, a rules-approval measure for the Agriculture Committee, and it was also introduced and advanced. Representative Sauter presented RS 33736, a public safety bill restoring driver’s license suspension for unpaid traffic infractions; the committee introduced it. Representative Hostetler presented RS 33759, the Merit-based Health Care Act, which would restrict Medicaid-related bias or DEI training requirements for providers; the measure drew the most debate, with Representative Rubel arguing it needed a real hearing and objecting to the substantive policy change, but after motions and recorded nays from Rubel, Burtz, and Church, the committee voted to introduce it and send it to Second Reading. The committee also advanced RS 33754, a cleanup measure related to insurance contract language, and RS 33756, which would require separate campaign accounts, report candidate loans over $1,000, and clarify campaign investment rules. Representative Monks presented RS 33734, a trailer bill to the portable benefits legislation that removed language suggesting the Department of Insurance should promulgate rules, and it was introduced and advanced. He also presented RS 33738, an advisory ballot measure to designate a state gun for the America 250 celebration; Representative Church argued it would add ballot cost and conflict with recent efforts to reduce county election expenses, and moved to return it to the sponsor, but that motion failed and the committee ultimately voted to introduce the measure and send it to Second Reading.
