Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill aims to change how public colleges and universities in Washington are funded. It proposes to eliminate a current funding method that relies heavily on tuition to cover increases in employee pay and other costs. Instead, the state would gradually increase its share of funding for these expenses, freeing up tuition money for educational quality. The bill also requires a study to define essential student services and their costs, with a report due in late 2026.
