Budget:<br>
The House Operating Budget has about $3billion in new spending creating a new capital gains tax with changes in the B&O taxes with relief for small business and increases for large businesses and also some reorganization for property taxes. This is still waiting
to be passed in the House.<br>
The House Capital Budget funds a larger number of projects than the Governors proposal.<br>
Most of the committees are done the last day will be April 23.<br>
The Senate budget is attempting to meet McCleary and other requirements within existing revenues.<br>
The House budget continues the tuition freeze with backfill, COLAS, I-Best fundint, MESA, and Guided Pathways. The Senate budget does none of those things and also cuts Work First.<br>
Since the budgets are so far apart a Special Session (or Sessions) are very likely in May and June.<br>
The House would like to have an agreement on spending first then pass revenue bills that are necessary to implement. The Senate would like to do the opposite.<br>
<br>
Other items:<br>
HB1237 Bargaining for Local Funds <a href="http://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1237&Year=2017">
http://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1237&Year=2017</a> passed the House but died in committee in the Senate. It has been re-inserted in the House Operating Budget so it still lives for now. The presidents continue to have concerns on the disparate
impact this would have on the colleges.<br>

<br>
HB 1913 Leasehold tax exemption for college bookstores still lives in the Senate budget as ?necessary to implement?<br>
