What would HB 1852 do?

In the Legislature's own description: “Concerning property tax refunds more than three years after the due date resulting from certain manifest errors.” We quote the official language rather than summarising, because a paraphrase of legislation is an interpretation.

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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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Why it died: Withdrawn, superseded by its own companion, folded into a budget, or simply never taken up — all four look identical in the data.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.

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.
