Several bills failed to make the legislative fiscal deadline. The next deadline – March 7 – requires all bills to move from their chamber of origin to the opposite chamber unless the bill is deemed “necessary to implement the budget” or NTIB and is not subject to the deadline.

The Evergreen State College is continuing to track approximately 100 bills, these bills and others can be found at the Legislature’s website.

As  a reminder committees will begin meeting again on March 8 through March 25 for policy bills, and for another week on fiscal matters. April 12 is the last day to consider bills introduced in the opposite chamber.
