The proposed supplemental budget for the current fiscal year moved from the Washington House to the Washington Senate today.

This morning the Washington House voted 55-43 to pass House Bill 1086.

Legislators are trying to close a $588 million shortfall in the fiscal year that ends this June. The House’s proposed supplemental reduces the budget shortfall by $340 million, leaving approximately $260 million in the red for the year.

House Bill 1086 now goes to the Senate for further consideration. It is expected that the Senate Ways & Means Committee will take up the bill tomorrow afternoon
