Summary: The committee first met in executive session on the capital budget and several policy bills. Staff briefed Proposed Substitute Senate Bill 6003, including amendments that shifted funding among capital projects, added money for the Yakima Behavioral Health Hub and Rent and Resource Center, moved the African Diaspora Cultural Anchor Village project, corrected juvenile rehabilitation and irrigation appropriations, and made a technical change to water pollution control revolving funds. The committee also considered bills on survivor health premium reimbursements for line-of-duty deaths, a higher lump-sum retirement payment threshold, collective bargaining coverage for certain employees outside the NLRA, permanent property tax exemptions for senior centers and nonprofit low-income homeownership projects, weatherization capital funding, and a Climate Commitment Act restructuring bill. Amendments were adopted on SB 6003 and on the CCA bill, while several later CCA amendments were withdrawn. All of the executive-session bills received due-pass recommendations, with the CCA bill sent to the Transportation Committee as amended. The public hearing began with Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2034, which would terminate and restate LEOFF Plan 1 in 2029, transfer members to a new plan with identical benefits, and distribute surplus assets to the Climate Commitment Account and the pension funding stabilization account. Committee staff described the plan’s overfunded status and the need for IRS approval; senators asked about funding history, medical liabilities, and governance. Testimony was sharply divided: retirees and firefighter groups opposed the bill as a broken promise and urged benefit enhancements or COLAs instead, while counties and cities said they wanted clearer language about taking over local medical obligations and disability board issues. No action was taken during the hearing. The committee then heard Engrossed House Bill 2179 on PERS membership for port workers in other employer-funded plans, with port officials and the Washington Public Ports Association supporting it and asking for clarifying amendments, while one member of the public supported having only one pension system. House Bill 1069, allowing DOC employees to bargain over supplemental retirement benefits, drew support from Teamsters and opposition from a policy group concerned about the bill’s scope and fiscal effects. House Bill 2091, expanding employee-information disclosure to all public employers under the PSRA, drew union support and privacy objections from Washington Policy Center. The committee also heard Second Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1210 on targeted urban area tax preferences for clean energy transformation projects, where labor and local economic development groups supported it and contractor, environmental, and anti-nuclear witnesses opposed the project labor agreement and the nuclear-facility implications. Finally, Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1408 on community preservation and development authority funding and Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1974 on land bank authorities for affordable housing both received supportive testimony, and Substitute House Bill 2650 on tax administration notices and effective dates was presented as a technical Department of Revenue request with no fiscal impact.
