The Senate Ways & Means finished up work around 4 p.m. today, Friday, leaving many bills in the budget committee, including the substitute proposed for SB 5612 which would have created a work group to make recommendations on health insurance for school district and ESD employees.
Also left on the list was the Governor's education restructuring bill, SSB 5639. WSSDA had learned this morning that the bill was going to be "held" so that a new substitute bill could be drafted and considered. The bill and several of the other restructuring or consolidation bills are being held as "necessary to implement the budget" and will continue to be worked over the next few weeks.
