Bills: HB2148, HB2132
Summary: The committee first held a work session on higher education funding and enrollment, with OPR staff Kate Henry reviewing Washington’s public higher education system, enrollment trends, tuition policy, financial aid programs, and funding sources. Members asked questions about FTE versus headcount, tuition changes, financial aid eligibility, and how the Workforce Education Investment Account and Opportunity Pathways funds are used to support Washington College Grant and College Bound awards. Henry explained recent policy changes, including Senate Bill 5785’s effects on award formulas, and noted that tuition, state appropriations, and financial aid are closely linked. Committee members also requested additional data on student-to-staff ratios and cost-of-attendance figures by institution. The committee then heard House Bill 2148, which would create a “Pay It Forward” program for graduate students. The bill would provide tuition support for up to four years, with recipients later making income-based contributions for up to 15 years to fund future students. The prime sponsor argued the bill was needed because federal changes would reduce access to graduate and professional loans, especially in fields like nursing, teaching, public health, and physical therapy. Testimony from students and advocates was strongly supportive, emphasizing workforce shortages, reduced federal aid, and the need for a revolving public funding model. Members asked about interest, caps, repayment terms, and how the program would be capitalized. Finally, the committee heard House Bill 2132, which would limit disclosure and retention of personally identifying and financial information from WASFA applications. The bill would exempt such information from public disclosure, restrict retention to one year after the award year absent an audit or appeal, and limit sharing with outside entities except as required by law or court order. The sponsor said the bill is intended to reduce unnecessary long-term storage of sensitive student data and improve privacy and data security. Testimony was overwhelmingly supportive, especially from student and immigrant-advocacy groups, who said the bill would protect undocumented and mixed-status students and increase trust in the financial aid process. Some members raised concerns about whether shorter retention could affect future immigration or residency documentation, and the sponsor responded that students can keep their own records and that other proof of enrollment or graduation would remain available. The committee took no votes and adjourned after the hearings.

Summary: The committee held public hearings on House Bill 2337 and House Bill 2311, then took executive action on Substitute House Bill 2132. HB 2337 would repeal the planned January 1, 2027 requirement that certain family caregivers who are paid to care for a relative complete continuing education. The bill sponsor and several family caregivers argued that mandatory annual continuing education is unnecessary, repetitive, and burdensome for relatives caring for one loved one, especially when training is often not tailored to the individual’s needs. Opponents, including SEIU 775 representatives and caregivers who support the current system, argued that continuing education improves care quality, helps caregivers stay current as needs change, and should remain mandatory; they said the state had already expanded course offerings in response to prior legislation. No action was taken on HB 2337 during the hearing. HB 2311 would make administrative changes to the Workforce Education Investment Accountability and Oversight Board, including lengthening co-chair terms, allowing more than four meetings per year, changing one consultation requirement, and eliminating the statutory public dashboard requirement. Supporters from WASAC, Microsoft, and the United Faculty of Washington State said the bill would improve board operations and that the dashboard has not been funded or created. A committee member raised concerns about the board’s capacity and whether the bill would affect how projects are evaluated; witnesses said it would mainly improve the board’s ability to review more proposals and provide better recommendations. No vote was taken on HB 2311 in the transcript. The committee then considered HB 2132, which limits disclosure and retention of personally identifying information in WASFA records. Members adopted amendment Ross 106, which broadens the Student Achievement Council’s ability to share WASFA applicant information with entities beyond higher education institutions under binding data-sharing agreements. After debate over the one-year retention period and privacy concerns, the committee voted 9-8 to report Substitute House Bill 2132 out of committee with a do pass recommendation.

Summary: The House Health Care and Wellness Committee held public hearings on four bills. HB 2555 would require the Health Care Authority to apply by July 1, 2026, for a Medicaid waiver to cover traditional health care practices at tribal and urban Indian facilities. Supporters, including the prime sponsor, tribal health leaders, and the Health Care Authority, said the bill would recognize traditional medicine, expand access, and potentially reduce downstream costs, while HCA noted the timeline may be difficult and that reimbursement issues, especially for urban Indian organizations, are still being worked out. HB 2685 would codify tribal data sovereignty principles, require state agencies to handle tribal data consistently with those principles, direct disease reporting to tribal health jurisdictions, and exempt certain tribal data from public disclosure. Tribal leaders supported the bill as a way to improve access to data and better tell the story behind it, while the Washington Coalition for Open Government opposed the broad public records exemption and HCA said the bill may be overbroad, especially regarding data sets that include tribal members and undefined ownership interests. HB 2658 would require health carriers to report standardized coverage and access data, especially for behavioral health, and the Insurance Commissioner would post the data publicly and maintain a dashboard. Supporters said it would expose gaps between promised and actual behavioral health coverage, while opponents argued it duplicates recent parity reforms, could be misread, and adds administrative burden. HB 2683 would shorten carrier credentialing timelines from 90 days to 30 days and require carriers to post billing and coverage information more openly. Supporters said it would help providers join networks faster and improve transparency for patients, while opponents raised concerns about safety checks, privacy, and implementation burden. After public hearing, the committee took executive action on three bills: it adopted two amendments and passed HB 2168, which concerns overdose mapping data, by a 16-1 vote; it rejected an amendment to HB 2196 but then passed the bill, which requires coverage for PANDAS/PANS treatments, by a 15-2 vote; and it passed HB 2545, allowing elective percutaneous coronary interventions at ambulatory surgical facilities, by a 13-4 vote. The committee then adjourned.

Summary: The House Health Care and Wellness Committee met on February 4 at policy cutoff and first took executive action on four bills, with one bill deferred. The committee advanced a proposed third substitute for House Bill 1589, which would require health carriers to give providers more detailed advance notice and copies of contract changes and payment methodology, and would also add notice requirements for significant payer contract modifications. Members discussed the bill as a way to help hospitals and independent providers better understand carrier contract changes; it passed with a due pass recommendation. The committee also adopted a substitute for House Bill 2402, which delays and adds exemptions to the proposed ban on DEHP in IV solution containers and tubing, after testimony about implementation concerns from hospitals and fire chiefs; it passed. House Bill 2555, concerning Medicaid coverage of traditional health care practices, was reported out with broad support but some concern about state exposure when non-tribal members are treated at Indian clinics. House Bill 2685, on tribal data and disease reporting to tribal health jurisdictions, also passed, though some members raised questions about data use, scope, and a Public Records Act exemption. House Bill 2599 was deferred. The committee then held a work session on private duty nursing in the medically intensive children’s program. The Health Care Authority and DSHS explained how the program serves children with complex medical needs through managed care and fee-for-service pathways, the limited number of children served, and the difficulty agencies face filling authorized hours because of workforce shortages, rural access issues, and frequent hospitalizations. They noted that family members often fill unpaid gaps in care. Public testimony from a home care agency representative and a parent described severe staffing shortages, the burden on families, and support for a model that would allow trusted family caregivers to be paid for some skilled care. The committee also heard from Montana and Massachusetts officials about similar family caregiver or complex care assistant programs in those states, including eligibility, covered tasks, training, supervision, and payment structures, as examples of how other states are addressing care gaps.

Bills: SCR13, SB1248
Summary: The Senate Committee on Water, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs met without a quorum at first, then later established quorum and proceeded with testimony and votes. Senate Bill 1248, by Chair Perry, was explained as a narrow Open Records Act exception to protect harvest report location data collected through Texas Parks and Wildlife’s digital tagging system. Support testimony came from Matt Wagner of the Texas Chapter of The Wildlife Society, who said the bill would protect private land and sensitive biological information while preserving useful wildlife data. No one testified against the bill, and it was left pending until later in the meeting. The committee then heard Senate Concurrent Resolution 13, which urges the State Department and the International Boundary and Water Commission to press Mexico to comply with the 1944 Water Treaty and deliver its share of Rio Grande water. Senator Hinojosa, farmers, municipal officials, and other witnesses described severe water shortages in South Texas, low reservoir levels, crop losses, the closure of the Valley sugar industry, and the need for alternative supplies such as desalination, reuse, and drainage-runoff projects. Members also discussed treaty enforcement, regional drought, and the role of cartels and Mexican water storage, while emphasizing that Texas must also invest in its own water infrastructure. The committee also considered Senate Bill 740, which the committee substitute amended to require the Public Utility Commission to adopt a standardized application form for system improvement charges and complete related rulemaking by September 1, 2026, applying only to applications filed on or after that date. Members discussed concerns about water wholesalers using the process to delay cases and drive up costs, and the need for more transparency and PUC resources. The committee voted to adopt the substitute and report SB 740 favorably. After returning to the earlier items, the committee voted SB 1248 out favorably and recommended it for the local and uncontested calendar, and voted SCR 13 out favorably as well. The committee then recessed subject to the call of the chair.

Summary: The House Administration Committee met to consider a series of resolutions and bills covering arts districts, child care background checks, federal worker relief, health care reform, court transparency, school tax reassessment, municipal charter changes, constitutional amendment procedures, data center nondisclosure agreements, state employee benefits governance, and lieutenant governor vacancies. Members also noted that House Concurrent Resolution 12 had been removed from the agenda and that public comment would be limited to one minute per speaker. The committee released SCR 167 to study arts, culture, and creative districts in Delaware; HB 438 to close a loophole in the child care service letter requirement; SB 268 to provide interest-free loans, free transit, and tax deferrals for federal workers during shutdowns; SS2 for SB 1 to expand and permanently strengthen primary care investment while also addressing hospital cost growth; HCR 147 to request a Court of Chancery report on audio recordings and automated case assignment; SB 322 to replace the current post-reassessment 10% school revenue increase authority with a 2% annual increase option under safeguards; SB 306 to amend the Rehoboth Beach charter; HB 440 to require voter approval for constitutional amendments after legislative approval; SB 312 to bar nondisclosure agreements for large data center projects; SS1 for SB 289 to change State Employee Benefits Committee governance; and SB 264 to require a special election to fill a lieutenant governor vacancy. Testimony was mixed on several measures. Arts, child care, federal worker relief, primary care, court transparency, data center transparency, and the lieutenant governor vacancy bill drew mostly supportive testimony, while SB 322 and SB 306 drew both support and opposition, especially over tax impacts and the proposed spouse/partner restriction in Rehoboth Beach. HB 440 prompted debate over whether 55% voter approval was the right threshold for constitutional amendments, and SB 312 was supported as a transparency measure by residents affected by prior data center NDAs. All of the listed measures were released from committee by roll call vote, with some members voting no on HB 440, SB 306, SB 312, SS1 for SB 289, and SB 264.

Summary: The Committee on Banking and Insurance met with a quorum and took up several bills, beginning with SB 834 on insurance requirements for nonprofit religious organizations and health care sharing ministries. The bill repeals a recent restriction on licensed insurance agents marketing or selling faith-based health care sharing programs. Supporters argued the change restores free speech and consumer education while preserving existing fraud and disclosure protections; opponents said allowing agents and brokers could create consumer confusion and has been associated with bad actors. A title amendment was adopted, and after debate the committee reported the bill favorably. The committee also heard and passed SB 642, which extends reporting and duty requirements to foreign and alien bail bond insurers, and SB 394, a technical bill updating reinsurance intermediary manager law to match current DFS practice. SB 266, which lets vulnerable adults rescind public adjuster contracts without penalty, was reported favorably after testimony from supporters in the insurance and elder law communities and a public adjuster who said the intent was good but the bill may need refinement. SB 832, a residential property insurance transparency bill requiring rate breakdown reports and a consumer resource center, also passed after discussion about consumer clarity and whether the required cost categories can be compiled as written. Later, the committee approved SB 540, which creates cybersecurity requirements for mortgage and money service businesses, closes a regulatory gap for certain investment advisers, adjusts OFR examination-payment deadlines, changes de novo charter requirements, allows virtual credit union meetings, and makes other financial regulation updates. Several amendments were adopted, including a substitute amendment removing fintech sandbox provisions. Finally, SB 1028 on Citizens Property Insurance Corporation was reported favorably after debate over a commercial lines clearinghouse intended to reduce Citizens’ exposure and shift more business to the private market; members discussed taxpayer risk, market competition, and consumer protections. The meeting ended with adjournment.

Summary: The committee took up House Bill 2, the General Appropriations Act, and reviewed the Senate Finance Committee substitute and amendments. Staff described the budget as balanced, with recurring growth of about 2.65% and reserves maintained at roughly 28% if the related disaster reform bill passes. Members discussed the bill’s major spending areas, including health care, child care, public safety, economic development, natural resources, and education, along with technical corrections, cleanup items, and where the public could find the revised bill online. There was also discussion of contingent appropriations that depend on other bills passing, and staff said a hot list of those items would be circulated. Several members asked about specific allocations, including university athletics and facilities funding for UNM and NMSU, tourism, the State Racing Commission, the Spaceport Authority, and school-related items. The committee also discussed reserve levels, oil and corporate income tax revenue assumptions, disaster and fire recovery funding, and concerns about fraud, waste, and abuse in emergency spending. Members raised questions about a Gallup DA funding issue, online school funding, and a personal care/health care item in the Health Care Authority budget. Staff clarified several line items and explained that some appropriations were tied to future legislation or temporary provisions. After debate, the committee adopted the Senate Finance Committee amendments and then voted on the committee report for House Bill 2. The motion to do pass House Bill 2 as amended passed 8-3. The chair noted that the committee would need to return later because of caucuses and the floor schedule, and staff thanked members for the process and preparation.

Summary: The Committee on Commerce and Tourism considered several bills. SB 1338 by Senator Burton would strengthen enforcement of written endowment agreements for charitable gifts and require legislative approval for new filing or reporting requirements on charities. The sponsor and Philanthropy Roundtable testified in support, emphasizing donor intent and protections for nonprofits; the bill was reported favorably. SB 1324, which was expected to address principal offices of LLCs, was temporarily postponed. The committee also passed CS/SB 1080 by Senator DeSigley, which directs FDOT to adopt rules allowing direct payments to first-tier subcontractors in specified circumstances. A transportation industry representative supported the measure, saying the situations are rare but need a statutory remedy. CS/SB 1582 by Senator Yarbrough, as amended, requires secondhand dealers, secondary metal recyclers, and pawnbrokers to submit transaction data to FDLE for statewide sharing through systems such as LInX; the amendment and bill were both reported favorably, with one witness from the Florida Recycler’s Association opposing the amendment. Senator McLean’s SB 1672, creating a home buyer workforce tax credit for employer contributions to help employees with first-time Florida home purchases, was reported favorably with support from the Florida Chamber of Commerce. SB 1112 by Senator Garcia, relating to the Florida Labor Pool Act, drew extensive testimony from workers, reentry advocates, and supporters who argued it would prohibit placement fees when workers are hired permanently, require annual registration of labor pools, improve accountability, and support stable employment and reentry; the bill was reported favorably. The committee then adjourned after recording votes and other closing business.
