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. Anyone may register a position on a bill before its hearing without speaking. Those sign-ins are a public record of who showed up — they are not a poll, not a sample of the state, and not a measure of public opinion. They count the people who knew the hearing was happening.
Committee hearing records for the 1999-00 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.

| ESSB 5180 | 1 | 1 | Effective date 7/1/1999*. |
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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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- Withdrawn, superseded by its own companion, folded into a budget, or simply never taken up — all four look identical in the data.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, and the summary feed we hold of them carries no bill column — checked against lobbyist_compensation and lobbyist_reporting, neither of which has one. So we hold no documented link between a lobbying report and a bill number and publish none. That is a limit of the extract, not a claim that no filing anywhere names a bill: reading the L-2 report body is what it would take to find out.
- 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.
- Sign-ins as public opinion
- A hearing sign-in sheet counts the people who knew the hearing was happening and could reach it. It is a public record of who showed up, not a poll, not a sample of the state, and not a measure of what Washington thinks. A bill with more sign-ins against it than for it has not been voted down by the public.
- An importance score
- No ranking of this bill against others, no “major legislation” badge, no prediction of what it will do next. Every bill gets the same page whether it passed, died, or was never heard, and there is no editorial selection of which bills receive one.

Common questions
- What happened to ESSB 5180?
- ESSB 5180 became law. The Legislature’s status record places it at “C 309 L 99” — its chapter and year in the session laws.
- Who sponsored ESSB 5180?
- The prime sponsor of record is WM(Loveland, 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 ESSB 5180 do?
- In the Legislature’s own description: “Making operating appropriations.” We quote the official language rather than summarising, because a paraphrase of legislation is an interpretation.
- Was there a recorded vote on ESSB 5180?
- Yes. 22 recorded floor votes appear on this page, member counts and all. Committee votes are held separately as scanned sign-off sheets and are not counted here.
- Did ESSB 5180 get a public hearing?
- Committee hearing records for the 1999-00 session are not available to us, so whether ESSB 5180 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.
