Summary: The Labor and Commerce committee held an executive session on several House bills, with staff presenting bill reports and the committee considering striking amendments and referral recommendations. Topics included non-competition and non-solicitation agreements (HB 1155), collective bargaining rights for non-academic student employees at Western Washington University (HB 1570), prohibiting employer microchipping of employees (HB 2303), a workers’ compensation PTSD treatment pilot program (HB 2405), unpaid wage recovery and a new wage recovery account (HB 2479), cannabis producer cooperatives (HB 1941), a snack bar liquor license change allowing wine by the glass (HB 1526), and expanding theater liquor license seating limits (HB 2476). Staff also noted fiscal impacts and whether bills had Senate companions. The committee adopted the striking amendment to HB 1155 after the sponsor withdrew two proposed amendments, then advanced the bill with a two-pass recommendation to Rules. It also adopted striking amendments or advanced the other bills, including sending HB 1570 and HB 2405 to Ways and Means, and HB 2479 to Ways and Means because it creates a new account. HB 1941, HB 1526, and HB 2476 were advanced to Rules after adoption of their respective striking amendments where applicable. Most actions were unanimous voice votes, and the bills were reported out as passed subject to signatures. At the end of the meeting, members thanked committee staff for their work and recognized Vice Chair Senator Steve Conway, who reflected on his 34 years of service on the committee and praised the bipartisan work of labor and business, including past accomplishments such as paid family leave. The committee then adjourned, with the chair noting an informal work session would follow and that the committee would reconvene after session.
