Summary: The committee heard testimony on House Bill 2325, which would create a statewide tourism self-supported assessment program under the Washington Tourism Marketing Authority. Staff explained the bill would let tourism-related businesses vote on and fund a new assessment program, overseen by a ratepayer board, with a new public records exemption for business financial information. The prime sponsor and supporters from State of Washington Tourism, hospitality, breweries, wine, and the Port of Seattle said the bill would provide sustainable, industry-led tourism funding and help Washington compete with other states. Opponents argued it would amount to another tax on businesses and raised concerns about unelected bodies having taxing authority. The hearing on HB 2325 was then closed. The committee then heard House Bill 2481, which would prohibit surveillance-based pricing, surge pricing, and certain electronic shelf label uses in grocery stores, while requiring price transparency and a Commerce study on electronic shelf labels. The sponsor said the bill is intended to stop individualized, data-driven pricing that could charge different customers different amounts for the same item. Labor and consumer advocates supported the bill, saying it would protect shoppers and workers from unfair pricing and confusion. Grocery and retail groups opposed the bill as drafted, warning that the definitions could unintentionally restrict loyalty programs, discounts, inventory management, markdowns, and electronic shelf labels that improve efficiency. Members and the sponsor discussed possible amendments, and the hearing was closed. House Bill 2503, regulating artificial intelligence training data, was then heard. Staff said the bill would require developers of generative AI systems to post high-level documentation about training data, including sources, size, and whether copyrighted or licensed data was used, with violations treated as Consumer Protection Act violations. The sponsor said the bill is meant to provide a basic “ingredients label” for AI and build public trust. Tech industry witnesses generally supported the transparency goal but asked for clearer alignment with California’s law and raised concerns about enforcement and private rights of action. Some other testimony supported stronger enforcement and transparency. The committee closed the hearing on HB 2503 and then opened House Bill 2278, which would remove the July 1, 2027 sunset on the additional $3 per room per night lodging charge in tourism promotion areas. The sponsor said the charge has produced a strong return on investment and supports local tourism promotion; one opponent argued tourism taxes and broader state tax burdens make Washington less attractive to visitors. The hearing on HB 2278 continued with additional testimony.

Summary: The Technology, Economic Development, and Veterans Committee met in executive session and considered six bills. House Bill 2325, creating a tourism self-supported assessment program for statewide tourism promotion, was amended to add certain large restaurants and retailers to the assessment, adjust enforcement language, remove a report-reference requirement, and make the Washington State Tourism Marketing Authority the governing agency. The committee adopted Amendment WAIL 264 and then voted 12-0, with one excused, to report the substitute bill out with a do pass recommendation. Members supporting the bill emphasized tourism’s economic benefits, local flexibility, and the need to increase statewide marketing. House Bill 2481, addressing surveillance-based price discrimination and surge pricing for retail goods, was discussed with a proposed substitute and several amendments, but Representative Kloba withdrew the substitute proposal before action, leaving the bill as written. Members debated fairness in grocery pricing, with supporters arguing consumers should pay the same price regardless of personal data and opponents expressing concern about the bill’s mechanics and impact on retailers. The committee voted 8-4, with one excused, to report the bill out with a do pass recommendation. House Bill 2503, concerning documentation of data used to train AI and generative AI systems, was amended to require posting additional documentation describing efforts to remove child sexual abuse material from training datasets. The committee adopted the amendment and then voted 8-4, with one excused, to pass the substitute bill out of committee. House Bill 2397, on reimbursements under the State Fire Services Mobilization Plan, was amended so the 60-day reimbursement clock begins when complete documentation is received; it then passed 12-0, with one excused. The committee also unanimously approved House Bill 2278 on tourism promotion areas and House Bill 2417 on victim protections under the Washington Code of Military Justice, each by 12-0 votes with one excused.

Summary: The committee heard public testimony on several housing bills. SB 6091 would prohibit real estate brokers from marketing residential property to a limited or exclusive group unless it is also marketed to the general public. The sponsor and supporters, including Washington Realtors, Habitat for Humanity, Zillow, the Fair Housing Center, and several brokers, said the bill promotes transparency, competition, and fair housing by preventing “pocket listings” and hidden inventory that can exclude buyers and reinforce segregation. Opponents, including Compass representatives and some brokers, argued the bill would restrict homeowner choice, harm privacy, and create legal risk for brokers; the Attorney General’s office said it supported the competitive goal but had concerns about using the Washington Law Against Discrimination as the enforcement mechanism. The committee then closed testimony on SB 6091 without taking final action. SB 6200 would protect renters and manufactured home residents from landlord restrictions on portable cooling devices, with limits for safety, building code compliance, electrical capacity, and liability protections for landlords. The sponsor and supporters framed the bill as a public health response to deadly extreme heat, citing the 2021 heat dome and testimony from physicians, tenant advocates, and nonprofits that cooling can save lives and is often the only realistic option for renters. Multifamily housing and property management groups supported the concept but raised concerns about window-mounted units in high-rise buildings, insurance, property damage, and neighboring-unit impacts, asking for narrower language or exemptions. Testimony on SB 6200 then closed. The committee also heard SB 6096, which would require cities and towns to offer deferred collection of water and sewer connection charges for qualifying residential construction until final inspection or occupancy. The sponsor said the bill would ease upfront financing burdens for builders without reducing what local governments receive. Builders and business groups supported the measure as a way to lower development costs, while water and sewer districts and city officials opposed it, arguing it shifts financial risk to utilities and ratepayers and could complicate infrastructure planning. After testimony, the committee closed the hearing on SB 6096. Finally, the committee heard SB 6153, which would create a senior independent housing ombuds program, require registration of senior independent housing facilities, and make certain landlord violations subject to the Consumer Protection Act. The sponsor said seniors in independent living settings often lack meaningful protections and need an ombuds similar to those available in licensed care settings. Supporters, including residents and advocacy groups, said the bill would provide oversight, complaint resolution, and dignity for older adults living in 55-plus communities and CCRCs. Testimony on SB 6153 was underway at the end of the transcript.

Summary: The Senate Housing Committee held public hearings on several bills. SB 6237 would require landlords to disclose to new tenants whether a rental property may be in a flood hazard area, that renters’ personal property is not covered by the landlord’s insurance, and that tenants should consider renters and flood insurance; supporters said it addresses a real information gap after recent flooding, while housing groups were generally neutral or supportive but asked for clarifying language and noted there is no specific penalty for non-disclosure. SB 6214 would authorize public corporations, housing authorities, and certain nonprofits to operate land bank authorities for affordable housing, with tax exemptions and priority access to tax-foreclosed property; testimony was largely supportive from local governments, housing authorities, and affordable housing advocates, while one witness opposed it as an unnecessary market intervention and the Department of Revenue flagged the need for clearer definitions to administer the exemptions. SB 6139 would require landlords to keep accepting previously used payment methods and allow partial rent payments during eviction proceedings without those payments reinstating the lease or stopping the unlawful detainer case; the sponsor said it would address recurring court problems where tenants could not make partial payments, while tenant advocates opposed it as accelerating evictions and limiting judicial discretion, and landlord groups said they were concerned about operational and legal clarity but were open to further work. In executive session, the committee took up SB 6091, which would bar real estate brokers from marketing residential property to limited or exclusive buyer groups. The committee adopted a proposed substitute that clarified the bill does not require owners to allow access into a home and removed language tying violations to the Washington Law Against Discrimination. The committee then voted the substitute do pass and sent the bill to Rules. The committee also voted to recommend confirmation of gubernatorial appointments 9278, Pedro Espinoza, and 9279, Diana H. Perez, to the Housing Finance Commission.

Summary: The House convened, established a quorum, approved the previous day’s minutes, and heard a prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. The chamber also moved several bills through routine orders, including placing House Bill 273 on health carrier surpluses and House Bill 2681 on cannabis license fees on the second reading calendar, and welcoming guests and honored families to the gallery. The main floor action centered on three bills. Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2325, establishing a tourism self-support program, was amended with a technical clarification and passed 84-5. Supporters said the industry should fund a statewide tourism marketing effort to attract visitors year-round and compete with other states. Engrossed Third Substitute House Bill 1960, on renewable energy, was amended to address local tax treatment of wind, solar, and battery storage projects and passed 74-15; proponents said it would replace a shifting property-tax burden with a more stable excise tax so host communities receive lasting benefits. House Bill 2521, concerning firearms background checks, drew the most debate. Amendments to raise the fee cap and to set the fee at zero were both rejected, with opponents arguing the bill would burden constitutional rights and supporters saying the fee should cover the State Patrol’s costs. The bill then passed 53-36. House Bill 2675, the annual accounts bill, passed unanimously 89-0 after brief support from both parties. The House then adjourned until the next scheduled meeting.

Summary: The committee held public hearings on three bills. House Bill 2483 would create an annual data broker registry at the Department of Licensing, requiring covered businesses to register, pay a fee, and disclose information about the data they collect, sell, security measures, and consumer opt-out options. Representative Kloba said the bill is intended to make data collection and resale more visible to consumers and address harms such as scams, surveillance, and misuse of purchased data. TechNet, AWB, and the Washington Retail Association opposed the bill as drafted, saying the definition of data broker is too broad and could sweep in businesses that are not true data brokers, while also noting the need for clearer alignment with other states. Committee members raised questions about public records data, government entities, and whether businesses scraping publicly available information would be covered; the sponsor said publicly available data remains carved out, but businesses that collect and sell such data would register. No vote was taken. House Bill 2400 would regulate monetized social media content featuring children. The bill would require vloggers meeting revenue and nexus thresholds to register with the Department of Revenue, create trust-account requirements for minors featured in monetized content, allow young adults to request deletion of monetized childhood images, require reporting and user education by platforms, and impose civil penalties and statutory damages. Representative Reeves said the bill is meant to distinguish ordinary family posting from monetizing children online and to extend workplace-style protections to children featured in paid content. TechNet and AWB opposed the bill, saying social media platforms should not be placed in the middle of parent-child trust arrangements and objecting to the private right of action, while suggesting more work during the interim. No vote was taken. House Bill 2439 would overhaul cigarette, tobacco, and vapor product policy. The staff briefing described a responsible vendor program, higher license fees and penalties, new distributor and manufacturer requirements, a study of vapor product extended producer responsibility, age-verification changes, bans on certain imitation or entertainment vapor products, removal of state preemption for local tobacco regulation, and changes to how tobacco tax revenue is allocated to public health accounts. Representative Reeves said the bill is a compromise after months of stakeholder work and is aimed at reducing youth access while keeping a regulated adult market. Supporters, including public health groups, King County, the American Heart Association, and pediatricians, backed the youth-prevention measures, local authority, and funding for prevention and public health services. Opponents, including retail, grocery, tobacco, and vapor industry representatives, argued the bill would create a patchwork of local rules, raise costs sharply for small businesses, burden enforcement, and potentially drive more activity into the illicit market. The hearing remained open with additional testimony and questions, and no final action was taken.
