Establishing the youth behavioral health account and funding the account through the imposition of a business and occupation additional tax on the operation of social media platforms.
This bill creates a new "youth behavioral health account" in Washington state. Starting January 1, 2026, it would impose an additional 0.4% business and occupation tax on social media platforms, with the collected funds deposited into this new account. The money in the account would be used to fund behavioral health services for people from prenatal through age 25, including a pilot program for telebehavioral health services for school-aged youth and support for the children and youth multisystem care coordinator in the governor's office.
