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.

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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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Withdrawn, superseded by its own companion, folded into a budget, or simply never taken up — all four look identical in the data.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 SHB 1775?

SHB 1775 became law. The Legislature’s status record places it at the enacted location code — its chapter and year in the session laws.

Who sponsored SHB 1775?

The legislation service returns no prime sponsor for SHB 1775, so the record we read is silent on who introduced it.

What would SHB 1775 do?

In the Legislature’s own description: “Limiting liability for salmon recovery projects performed by regional fisheries enhancement groups.” We quote the official language rather than summarising, because a paraphrase of legislation is an interpretation.

Was there a recorded vote on SHB 1775?

Yes. 3 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 SHB 1775 get a public hearing?

Yes — 2 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.
