Summary: The committee first held a public hearing on House Bill 2410, which would create a commercial truck safety and education council, increase the commercial vehicle safety enforcement fee from $16 to $32, and dedicate the new revenue to truck safety and training programs. Committee staff outlined the bill’s licensing and training requirements, council structure, funding, confidentiality provisions, and fiscal impacts. The prime sponsor said the bill was intended to improve truck driver education and safety, and testimony from the Washington Trucking Associations, trucking companies, insurers, and business groups was strongly supportive. The Washington Traffic Safety Commission testified “other” and said it supported the safety goal but still had concerns about clarifying the commission’s role and responsibilities. A committee member asked about bridge strikes and truck crashes involving in-state versus out-of-state drivers, but no data was immediately available. No vote was taken. The committee then heard House Bill 2347, which would repeal last year’s luxury aircraft tax on non-commercial aircraft valued above $500,000. Staff explained that the tax is scheduled to take effect April 1 and would send revenue to the Sustainable Aviation Fuel account; the repeal would take effect immediately. The bill’s sponsor argued the tax unfairly burdens business, medical, agricultural, wildfire, and other aircraft uses, and said aircraft and related jobs were already leaving the state. Many witnesses from business aviation, airports, manufacturers, and industry associations testified in support of repeal, describing aircraft relocations, vacant hangars, lost fuel and lease revenue, and reduced investment. They also argued the tax is difficult to administer because many aircraft are used for mixed business and personal purposes. The Port of Seattle testified “other,” agreeing the tax has outsized impacts but urging a narrower fix rather than full repeal so the state can still fund sustainable aviation fuel infrastructure. Committee members asked about out-of-state aircraft, lost revenue, and whether Canada’s repeal of a similar tax offered a lesson; no action was taken on the bill. After the hearings, the committee received a work session on tolling technology from the Transportation Commission and consultants. They summarized a pilot using a smartphone app for toll collection, including tests on SR 520 and a hypothetical SR-18 segment toll. The presentation said the app worked well when paired by Bluetooth, had high customer satisfaction, and could complement existing toll tags and video tolling, though privacy and setup issues were noted. The commission recommended keeping current tolling systems, conducting a fully operational pilot within about three years, and planning for future technology integration through a marketplace approach. The meeting ended when the chair adjourned the committee for caucus.

Summary: The Senate Transportation Committee held a work session on impaired driving, beginning with data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission showing that about half of traffic fatalities involve an impaired driver, with alcohol the most common substance involved. Mark McKinney presented crash trends, age-group patterns, the link between impairment and speeding, racial disparities in impaired-driving fatalities, and survey results showing support for lowering Washington’s per se BAC limit from 0.08 to 0.05 increased from 54% to 71% after respondents received information. He and later panelists said a lower limit would deter drinking and driving, encourage planning ahead, and align with international research showing fewer alcohol-related fatalities and serious injuries without major effects on arrests or the hospitality industry. The committee also heard personal and agency testimony supporting the 0.05 proposal. Joshua Jackman described severe injuries from a 2007 drunk-driving crash and said the bill could help prevent similar tragedies. AAA Washington, the State Patrol chief, and the Transportation Secretary all supported the measure, emphasizing safety, deterrence, and the costs of impaired driving to road workers, work zones, and state finances. Committee members asked about enforcement, blood testing, and how the law would affect drivers and passengers; witnesses said enforcement practices would remain based on observed impairment and that the bill was aimed at prevention rather than increasing arrests. The committee then held public hearings on three bills. SB 5234 would raise snowmobile registration fees from $50 to $75 and vintage snowmobile fees from $12 to $18 to support snow park operations; State Parks and snowmobile groups supported it, while one club representative opposed the fee increase and urged broader program reform. SB 6110 would clarify the distinction between e-bikes and higher-powered e-motos and direct a workgroup to recommend a statutory framework for e-motos; students, cities, trail groups, and recreation advocates supported clearer definitions for safety and enforcement, while some local officials asked for an immediate e-moto definition and civil infraction authority. SB 6176 would allow enforcement of expired vehicle registrations for parked, unoccupied vehicles on public right-of-way and certain parking facilities; the sponsor said it would help recover unpaid tab revenue, and the hearing began with opposition testimony from a tax watchdog group before the transcript ended.

Summary: The House Transportation Committee held a work session featuring a National Conference of State Legislatures briefing on declining gas tax revenues and alternative transportation funding tools. Doug Schenkel and Lexi Elio described trends in state motor fuel tax revenue, rising construction costs, and the growing impact of more fuel-efficient and electric vehicles. They reviewed state responses such as indexed gas taxes, electric vehicle and hybrid fees, road usage charges, transportation network company fees, retail delivery fees, and per-kilowatt-hour charges on non-residential EV charging. Members asked follow-up questions about Virginia’s mileage-based fee program, enrollment rates, and whether states had reduced gas taxes when adopting road usage charges; the presenters said they would follow up with more information. The committee then heard a staff presentation comparing Washington’s transportation budget and system with Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah, highlighting Washington’s large ferry system, fish passage obligations, and unusually high debt service. Members asked about the Climate Commitment Act’s effect on fuel taxes, debt service interest, and whether Washington’s roadwork costs differ from other states, and staff said they could provide additional detail later. The committee then held a public hearing on House Bill 2109, which would allow vehicles being towed on trailers to use a covering to contain mud, rocks, or other debris instead of requiring the vehicle tracks or undercarriage to be cleaned first. Staff said the bill would not affect the existing six-inch freeboard rule for loads and noted modest fiscal impacts for the State Patrol and WSDOT. Representative Dent and a constituent testified in support, explaining that tracked construction equipment is difficult and time-consuming to clean before transport. No opposition testimony was presented, and the bill was left at public hearing. Next, the committee heard House Bill 2139, a request bill from State Parks to raise snowmobile registration fees from $50 to $75 and vintage snowmobile fees from $12 to $18. Supporters, including State Parks, DNR, a county commissioner, and several recreation advocates, said the increase was needed to maintain snow parks, grooming, sanitation, and safety, and that the program had seen declining registrations and rising costs. Opponents argued that many snowmobiles are unregistered, enforcement is weak, and the fee increase could further reduce compliance; they also questioned why sales tax revenue and administrative costs were not being redirected differently. State Parks said it had already reduced services at some snow parks, was exploring more targeted enforcement, and had surveyed users, with a majority favoring a fee increase. The committee then received a briefing on House Bill 2192, which would update the Washington Traffic Safety Commission’s role by formally authorizing it to function as a public health authority, collect and analyze health care and crash data, convene a confidential fatality review committee, and review a broad range of records related to traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Staff said the commission already performs similar work and reported no fiscal impact.

Summary: The committee’s work session focused first on ignition interlock device compliance. Traffic Safety Commission staff described a Yakima County pilot that provides enhanced probation supervision and support for DUI-affected drivers, reporting that compliance with interlock installation rose from roughly 16%–20% before the program to 41% after implementation among the medium- and high-risk population. Staff identified major barriers as cost, confusing and inconsistent procedures, and transportation access, and suggested policy changes such as allowing payment plans and simplifying compliance pathways. JLARC then presented its preliminary audit, estimating an overall 41% installation/completion rate statewide, finding that installation rates rise with income, that financial assistance reaches only about 11% of eligible users on average, and that the Department of Licensing and State Patrol need clearer coordination, goals, and a formal agreement to jointly administer the program. The State Patrol also reported on a Snohomish County outreach pilot that made 616 contacts, found many drivers were unaware of financial assistance, and identified some drivers as physically unable to drive, without vehicles, unable to afford the program, or subject to active warrants; the patrol said it would continue similar outreach in Yakima and use data analysis to target compliance efforts. The committee then received a broader traffic safety update from the Traffic Safety Commission. Staff reported that serious injuries and fatalities in traffic crashes rose sharply over the last several years, though 2024 showed some improvement, including a 9% drop in fatalities and a 15% drop in impaired-driving fatalities from 2023. Pedestrian deaths remained high, while unrestrained and speeding-related fatalities also remained significant concerns. The commission also presented telematics-based research showing that targeted enforcement and visible police presence can reduce speeds; one project found each additional hour of officer presence per mile was associated with a 5.6 mph decrease in average speed. A second telematics project using opt-in insurance-based data showed high rates of phone use and speeding among drivers, and the commission said local agencies are using the tool for corridor-level enforcement planning and evaluation. In public hearing, the committee heard Senate Joint Memorial 8016, which asks federal officials to treat the Fairfax Bridge closure and replacement as an emergency and to accelerate federal review. The sponsor and several supporters from Wilkeson, Carbonado, recreation groups, and nearby communities said the bridge closure has hurt tourism, emergency response, and access to Mount Rainier and surrounding recreation areas. Testimony was entirely in support, and the chair announced 67 pro and zero con sign-ins. The committee also heard Senate Bill 6230, which would require cash transactions to be rounded to the nearest five-cent increment in light of the Treasury’s decision to stop minting pennies. Staff explained the bill’s rounding rules and noted a Department of Licensing fiscal note of about $186,000 for technology changes; retail and food industry representatives supported the bill but asked for amendments on permissiveness, tax treatment, consumer protections, and local preemption. During executive session, staff briefed several bills and substitutes, including snowmobile registration fee increases, gender-designation record confidentiality, streamlined salvage-title transfers, utility and fish-barrier-related changes, inflation adjustments for emergency state highway work thresholds, public-health authority language for the Traffic Safety Commission, special parking privilege renewal changes, expired registration enforcement, oil tanker tug-escort requirements, and transit board labor-member provisions. No final votes were taken in the portion of the meeting provided, though the committee waived the five-day notice to hear the day’s public hearing bills.

Summary: The committee began with a work session on the Washington State Transportation Commission’s route jurisdiction transfer study. Staff explained that counties own about 49% of center lane miles, cities 22%, and the state 9%, and that only 16 route jurisdiction transfers have occurred since the process began in 1991. The study found the current state highway system is generally well connected and did not need wholesale realignment, but recommended clarifying statutory criteria, improving the transfer process, and strengthening interagency coordination and recordkeeping. Members discussed why transfers happen, who pays for transferred roads, and how the Legislature should handle abandonments and major decommissionings. House Bill 2172 was then heard, which would fold large abandonments into the RJT process, require pre-request conferences, add cost/risk reporting, update highway criteria, and require legislative approval for certain decommissionings. Support came from Tacoma, the Transportation Commission, counties, cities, and the Transportation Improvement Board, while the sponsor said a substitute would narrow the bill so agreed transfers could proceed without final legislative approval. The committee next heard House Bill 1367, which would allow motorcycles to travel on the right shoulder of limited-access highways in slow or stopped traffic, subject to speed limits and other restrictions. The bill’s substitute would limit shoulder use to wider shoulders, require hazard lights, bar overtaking on the shoulder, and assign liability for debris-related damage to the rider while shielding governments from claims. Testimony was sharply divided: motorcycle advocates and some riders said the bill would reduce fatigue, heat stress, and rear-end risk, while the State Patrol and WSDOT opposed it as unsafe, especially because shoulders are used for emergencies, maintenance, and incident response and may contain debris. The Department of Licensing and WSDOT described potential implementation and maintenance costs. Substitute House Bill 2174 would create local or state “crash prevention zones” on roads with repeated serious collisions or fatalities, require public notice and an engineering/traffic study, increase enforcement, and impose a $73 penalty for certain infractions in the zone, with revenue dedicated to safety improvements. The sponsor said it was intended as a temporary tool for dangerous corridors such as Highway 395 and Highway 12, while counties and cities supported the concept but asked for liability protections similar to the Senate companion bill. Finally, House Bill 2718 proposed major permitting and project-delivery reforms for transportation projects, including deadlines for agency permit meetings and decisions, early tribal and local consultation, deemed approval in some cases, a public contractor rating website, and a report on further streamlining ideas. The sponsor framed it as a “shot clock” approach to reduce delays and costs, and members raised questions about how the contractor ratings would work and whether the bill would alter existing performance review systems.

Summary: The Public Safety Committee first considered several gubernatorial nominations. Brent Black of Bixby was renominated to the Forensic Review Board, with Senator Guthrie noting the board’s seven-member makeup and the need for mental health professionals; the nomination was advanced 8-0. Lou Ann Moody of Henrietta was then presented for the Forensic Review Board. Moody described her long legal career, her work as city attorney and in juvenile/dependency matters, and her decision to avoid criminal defense work to avoid ethical conflicts. Members asked about the board’s caseload and meeting schedule, and the nomination was advanced 8-0. The committee also heard the nomination of a retired Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer, Mr. McCoy, to the OSBI Commission. He emphasized his decades of law enforcement and emergency-management experience, and the nomination was advanced 8-0. The committee then took up House Bill 3045, with an amendment offered by Senator Reinhart. The amendment would allow certain fire departments, rural fire districts, and fire protection districts in municipalities under 200,000 population to recover accident response fees, while preventing those fees from going into general revenue or funding non-fire services. Reinhart explained the bill was intended to address fire departments’ ability to recover costs while limiting the impact on the state’s two largest cities. Senator Brooks questioned why the exemption would apply only to the largest municipalities, and Reinhart responded that Tulsa and Oklahoma City would see the greatest fiscal impact and that rural departments lacked comparable revenue sources. Senator Murdoch raised a point that the bill had an unescorted fiscal impact on municipalities and asked for a ruling under the Municipal Fiscal Impact Act. The chair took the matter under advisement and, at the sponsor’s request, laid the bill over rather than proceeding further. The meeting concluded with members offering extended personal remarks thanking the chair and vice chair for their leadership and service, and the chair adjourned the committee.
