Committee advances several bills in executive session; substitutes and due‑pass recommendations approved
Summary
In executive session the committee adopted substitutes, voted to give due‑pass recommendations, and passed a set of bills subject to signatures, including actions on SB 5,841, SB 5,907 and SB 5,951.
During the committee’s executive session the committee considered amendments and moved bills forward with due‑pass recommendations and substitute adoption.
Senators debated and voted on a proposed substitute for SB 5,841 (high school and beyond plans/financial aid application data). Multiple amendments were considered; amendment A1 failed on fiscal grounds while amendment A2 (adding the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship to required information) was adopted. The committee then rolled those changes into a new proposed substitute and voted to send the bill to the rules committee with a due‑pass recommendation; the clerk announced the bill "passed subject to signatures." (Committee action recorded at the executive session.)
The committee subsequently moved that SB 5,907 (an ECAP enrollment expansion for military families) receive a due‑pass recommendation and the motion passed. For SB 5,951 (albuterol standing orders for schools) the committee adopted a proposed substitute and then voted to send the substitute to the rules committee with a due‑pass recommendation. Voice votes were recorded as "aye" and the clerk recorded the bills as passed subject to signatures.
The executive session concluded with requests to sign the sheets and the committee adjourned.
