Subject: SBCTC Legislative News | Jan. 24, 2020

The first edition of Legislative News for the 2020 session is posted: Committee hearings continue as Legislature wraps up Week 2<https://www.sbctc.edu/blogs/legislative-news/2020/2020-01-24.aspx>

The Legislature continued into its second week taking public testimony on bills addressing Workforce Education Investment Act funding. Passed last year, the act created a business and occupation tax surcharge on certain businesses to fund the act's provisions.

Deanna George has this week's interns' update: Student representatives using their voices to make a difference<https://www.sbctc.edu/blogs/legislative-news/2020/student-representatives-using-their-voices-to-make-a-difference.aspx>

Barely a week old, this legislative session is proving to be an exciting one, especially for SBCTC as bills like HB 1702<https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1702&Year=2019&Initiative=false>, which would specify classes offering low-cost course material when students register for classes have been resurrected, and new ones like SB 6492<https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=6492&Initiative=false&Year=2019>, which addresses workforce education investment funding, have been introduced.

Correction: Last week's Legislative News email mistakenly stated Matthew is a student at Cascadia College. Matthew is a student at Centralia College.
