<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">As the iconic campus cherry blossoms bloom and the deadline for bills to be voted out of fiscal committees approaches on Tuesday, April 8, the Washington State Legislature
is entering the final stretch of the 2025 regular session. This marks a crucial phase in the legislative process, where lawmakers race against time to advance their proposals before critical cutoff dates.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Following the April 8 deadline, legislators will shift their focus to intense floor debates and caucus discussions, working long hours to negotiate and pass bills before
the opposite house floor cutoff on Wednesday, April 16. As the session winds down, the stakes are high, with advocates, stakeholders, and policymakers pulling out the stops and closely watching the fate of key measures that may either advance or pause until
the next session.</span></p>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">Revenue Bills in Fiscal Committees</span></div>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">This week, the Senate Ways & Means Committee and the House Finance Committee held hearings on a series of revenue bills introduced by the majority Democrats. These proposals
sparked an extraordinary level of public interest, drawing a record-breaking number of sign-ins from individuals and organizations eager to voice their opinions. The overwhelming engagement underscored the heightened work of business and advocacy groups on
both sides of tax policy this year.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">In the Ways & Means Committee, SB 5798, a bill addressing property taxes, attracted an astonishing 45,174 sign-ins—an unprecedented level of participation in state history.
In comparison, SB 5797, which deals with the taxation of intangible assets, saw 14,079 sign-ins, while SB 5796, concerning payroll expense taxes, received 13,463 sign-ins. The sheer volume of responses made even these remarkable figures appear modest. By way
of context, it is absolutely within the realm of normal to have a mere dozen or fewer sign-ins on a lower-profile bill. </span></p>

<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Two opposing coalitions of Washington mayors and local elected officials are pressing lawmakers to either support or reject the proposed revenue bills.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Last week, 68 elected officials signed an open letter urging legislators to pass the measures. Among the signatories were Olympia City Council Member Clark Gilman, Pierce
County Executive Ryan Mello, Council Member Jani Hitchen, four Tacoma City Council members, and four Thurston County commissioners. Their letter argues that despite Washington’s growing population, the state is not generating enough revenue to support essential
investments in housing, human services, infrastructure, and public safety. The officials emphasized that Washington’s tax code has remained largely unchanged for over a century and called for both short- and long-term updates to ensure sustainable funding.
Their message concluded with a call to increase taxes on the wealthiest individuals and profitable corporations, stating that those who have benefited most from Washington’s economic success should contribute more.</span></p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Opponents, however, are urging legislators to reject new taxes on businesses, warning that proposals such as a payroll excise tax and higher business and occupation (B&O)
taxes on large companies could harm the state's economy. Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, speaking at a March 28 press conference, cautioned that these measures could make Washington less competitive, discourage job growth, and potentially drive businesses out of
the state—leading to negative effects on small businesses as well. Other mayors, including those from Federal Way, Renton, and Kirkland, signed a letter urging lawmakers to oppose the proposals.</span></p>

press conference</a> on Tuesday, Governor Bob Ferguson outlined five key conditions that any budget must meet for him to sign it. Rejecting the budgets proposed by majority legislative Democrats, he stressed the following requirements:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; background-color: white;">
<li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; direction: ltr;">
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0px;">
The Rainy Day Fund (Budget Stabilization Account) must remain untouched. While the Senate’s proposal draws from these reserves, the House’s version does not.<br>
<br>
</p>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; direction: ltr;">
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
The budget must be based on realistic revenue projections, rather than the legally permitted 4.5% projection. Ferguson supports the Senate’s approach in this regard.<br>
<br>
</p>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; direction: ltr;">
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
New spending should be minimal due to current fiscal constraints. “This is not the time for major investments in any program, no matter how worthwhile,” he cautioned.<br>
<br>
</p>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; direction: ltr;">
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
The budget must include significant savings and efficiencies—amounting to billions—while preserving essential services like K-12 education and public safety.<br>
<br>
</p>
</li><li style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; direction: ltr;">
<p style="direction: ltr; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
It cannot rely on revenue sources that may face legal challenges and risk being overturned in court.<br>
<br>
</p>
</li></ul>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: white; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Ferguson’s firm stance will be a challenge for lawmakers, some of whom have said they will not vote for a budget with cuts, as they work behind closed doors toward a final
budget agreement by Sine Die.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">This past Wednesday marked the deadline for bills to advance out of policy committees in the opposite chamber. Any legislation that failed to meet this deadline is unlikely
to move forward in the legislative process this session, pending extraordinary efforts by legislators to resurrect. While nearly anything is technically possible until the gavel drops on Sine Die, this milestone is a crucial step in the legislative timeline,
as it determines which bills continue to be debated on the floor or in fiscal committees next week before potentially becoming law. Below are a few of the 485 bills that have advanced:</span></p>
