Summary: The Post-Secondary Education and Workforce Committee met on January 27 and first took executive action on three bills. House Bill 2311, which makes administrative changes to the Workforce Education Investment Accountability and Oversight Board, was advanced with a do pass recommendation after the proposed amendment was withdrawn. Members supporting the bill said it was a modest process improvement, while some members raised concerns about transparency, accountability, and ensuring workforce dollars go directly to student success. The bill passed on a 15-1 vote. House Bill 2324, which extends tuition waiver eligibility for children of certain disabled veterans, also passed unanimously with a do pass recommendation. House Bill 288, the Dietitian Licensure Compact, was amended to delay implementation until July 1, 2028, and then advanced unanimously with a do pass recommendation. The committee then held public hearings on several bills. House Bill 2422 would shift private security guard licensing fees from individual guards to their employers, eliminate transfer fees, and penalize companies that require reimbursement. The sponsor and labor advocates argued the current system unfairly burdens low-wage workers and contributes to high turnover, while committee members asked about whether the license is tied to the company, the size of the turnover rate, and whether lowering or eliminating fees might be an alternative. House Bill 2438 would create the SEEDS scholarship for early childhood education degree seekers, funded by up to $10 million from the GET account if it remains sufficiently funded. The sponsor and supporters said it would help address severe early learning workforce shortages, especially in rural areas, while WASAC said it supported the concept but had concerns about using GET funds directly and suggested a new account structure to avoid conflicts with existing requirements. The committee also heard House Bill 2525, which would create a heritage orchard program at Washington State University to register and preserve old and rare apple varieties. The sponsor and the tree fruit industry described it as a way to preserve agricultural history, support research, and promote ag education. Finally, House Bill 2586 would align Passport to Careers financial need calculations with the federal student aid formula and automatically qualify Passport students for the Washington College Grant. The sponsor, WASAC, and student testifiers said the bill would simplify aid access for foster youth and unaccompanied homeless youth; WASAC said it would absorb the modest administrative cost and clarified it was not seeking new appropriations. No final committee action was taken on the bills heard in public testimony during this meeting.
