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.
Prime sponsor
Hansen
as printed the sponsor line on the bill status record · introduced in the House. A committee substitute prints the committee here, with the originating member in parentheses.
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.

What changed between versions
| Version | Substitute | Engrossed | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| HB 2158 | — | — | 2nd substitute bill substituted. |
| SHB 2158 | 1 | — | 2nd substitute bill substituted. |
| E2SHB 2158 | 2 | 1 | Effective date 7/28/2019**. |
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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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- Withdrawn, superseded by its own companion, folded into a budget, or simply never taken up — all four look identical in the data.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 E2SHB 2158?
- E2SHB 2158 became law. The Legislature’s status record places it at “C 406 L 19” — its chapter and year in the session laws.
- Who sponsored E2SHB 2158?
- The prime sponsor of record is Hansen, 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 E2SHB 2158 do?
- In the Legislature’s own description: “Creating a workforce education investment to train Washington students for Washington jobs.” We quote the official language rather than summarising, because a paraphrase of legislation is an interpretation.
- Was there a recorded vote on E2SHB 2158?
- Yes. 21 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 E2SHB 2158 get a public hearing?
- Yes — 3 public hearings are on record. A public hearing is where testimony is taken; it is not the committee vote, which happens in an executive session.

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.
