SHB 1476 — Child/family care partnershp
SHB 1476 was introduced in the 1991-92 Washington legislative session by Wineberry. It never received a public hearing and did not become law.
Dying without a vote is the ordinary outcome for a Washington bill, not a scandal and not a failure of any one person. This page shows where it stopped, who was recorded, and what the record does not say.

Sponsors
Who put their name to the bill. The Legislature records a prime sponsor on the bill status; the full co-sponsor roster appears only in the introduced bill text, which we have not ingested.

The co-sponsor roster is not on this page. We hold the prime sponsor the Legislature prints on the bill status, not the list of co-sponsors, which is published only in the introduced bill text we have not ingested. A co-sponsor count here would be a number no record we hold contains.

The hearing record
Every committee meeting where this bill appeared on the agenda. Public is where testimony is taken; Executive is where the committee votes.
Committee hearing records for the 1991-92 session are not available. The Legislature publishes committee hearing records from the 2003-04 session onward; for earlier sessions there is nothing to read. Whether this bill received a public hearing cannot be established either way, so we say nothing about it.

What changed between versions
| Version | Substitute | Engrossed | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| HB 1476 | — | — | By resolution, reintroduced and retained in present status. |
| SHB 1476 | 1 | — | By resolution, reintroduced and retained in present status. |
We do not hold the bill text, so we cannot say what changed. The version list shows that the bill was rewritten and how many times. Comparing the substance of two versions needs the text of each, which we have not ingested. The Legislature publishes both.

What this page will not compute
Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.
- Who killed it
- We can say a bill was never scheduled for a public hearing. We cannot say who decided that. Chairs control agendas, but the record does not attribute a non-decision to a person, and we will not infer one from a committee roster.
- Why it died
- Withdrawn, superseded by its own companion, folded into a budget, or simply never taken up — all four look identical in the data.
- Whether lobbying affected it
- Washington collects lobbyist compensation and employer registrations, but none of those filings name a bill. There is no documented link between a lobbying report and a bill number, so we publish none.
- What changed between versions
- We hold the version list, not the text of each version.
- How a member would have voted
- Only recorded votes appear here. A member absent from a roll call is recorded as absent, not as opposed.

Common questions
- What happened to SHB 1476?
- SHB 1476 did not become law. It stopped in House Committee on Appropriations. The 1991-92 session ended without it passing both chambers, so it is not law.
- Who sponsored SHB 1476?
- The prime sponsor of record is Wineberry, as printed on the bill status. This page does not list co-sponsors — that roster is published only in the introduced bill text, which we have not ingested.
- What would SHB 1476 do?
- In the Legislature’s own description: “Modifying the employer-assisted child and family care partnership.” We quote the official language rather than summarising, because a paraphrase of legislation is an interpretation.
- Was there a recorded vote on SHB 1476?
- SHB 1476 never reached a recorded floor vote in either chamber, so no member is on record for or against it.
- Did SHB 1476 get a public hearing?
- Committee hearing records for the 1991-92 session are not available to us, so whether SHB 1476 was publicly heard cannot be established either way.

How this page is built
Every figure above is read from a primary source and rebuilt on a schedule. Nothing here is modelled or inferred; where a source is silent the page says so rather than filling the gap.
- WA Legislature legislation service
- Bill id, titles, sponsor, introduced date, and the history line and location code we render as its status.
- WA Legislature committee hearing records
- Every committee agenda this bill appeared on, and whether each was a public hearing or an executive session.
- WA Legislature roll call service
- Recorded floor votes, member by member.
- Outcome
- Derived, not published by the Legislature. Enacted means a chapter number or effective date is on record; died is only ever assigned once a session has ended; a sitting session yields pending and no death is asserted.
- Not loaded
- Bill text, amendments, committee votes as individual member records, testimony, and fiscal notes.
