Where it stopped

Died

Last recorded action: First reading, referred to Higher Education & Workforce Development.
Position: S Higher Ed & Wor — the Legislature's own location code
Public hearing: None on record — a public hearing is where testimony is taken; an executive session is where a committee votes

This bill was never given a public hearing. It was introduced, referred to committee, and the session ended without testimony ever being taken on it. That is the ordinary fate of 44% of the bills that die in Washington — it is not evidence that anyone blocked it, and we do not know who decided.

What it would do

The Legislature’s own description. We do not paraphrase legislation.

No description on file. The legislation service returns no long title for this bill. That is a gap in the record we read, not a bill without content.

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.

This bill never appeared on a committee agenda. It was introduced and referred, and no committee ever scheduled it. Roughly half the bills that die in Washington die this way.

The votes

Recorded floor votes. Committee votes are in the hearing record above.

No recorded floor vote. The bill never reached the floor of either chamber, so no member is on record for or against it.

Last checked 2026-08-07

Versions

Only one version on file. The bill was never substituted or engrossed, or the legislation service returns only the surviving version for this session — for completed biennia it usually returns the latter.

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 None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.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Why it died: Withdrawn, superseded by its own companion, folded into a budget, or simply never taken up — all four look identical in the data.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

On the record

Nothing on file

No lobbying edge is published. Washington collects lobbyist filings but none of them name a bill, so there is no documented link to draw. No funding edge either: we do not join campaign money to legislation, because doing so would require inferring intent from two unrelated records.

Where this page comes from

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.
