HB 2130

Momentum Bucket Early Stage
Legal Title AN ACT Relating to repealing new taxes imposed by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5814 during the 2025 regular legislative session;
Bill Description Repealing new taxes imposed by Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5814 during the 2025 regular legislative session.
What this bill does
Powered by Legitron
House Bill 2130 (H-2481.2), introduced in the 69th Legislature and sponsored by Representatives Orcutt, Dufault, Abell, Marshall, Jacobsen, Chase, Ley, Engell, Leavitt, Abbarno, Barnard, Graham, Keaton, Couture, Connors, Klicker, Dye, McClintock, Dent, Mendoza, Valdez, and Manjarrez, repeals specified sections of 2025 chapter 422 (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5814). The bill explicitly repeals 2025 c 422 sections 1, 101, 201, 301, 401 (uncodified), 402 (uncodified), 403 (uncodified), and 404 (uncodified). It also states that RCW 82.32.805 and RCW 82.32.808 do not apply to this act. The bill contains an emergency clause declaring the repeal necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of state government and its institutions, and sets an effective date of April 1, 2026. Legally, this is a repeal of previously enacted statutory provisions rather than the creation of a new crime, penalty, or procedural regime; it is a substantive statutory repeal with an emergency effective date. The bill was prefiled on December 10, 2025, read for the first time in the House on January 12, 2026, and referred to the Committee on Finance. The excerpt provided does not include the text of the repealed sections, the content or purpose of RCW 82.32.805 and 82.32.808, or any fiscal, implementation, or administrative details, so the specific policy consequences of those repeals are not determinable from the provided facts.
Why it matters
Powered by Legitron
If enacted, this bill would cancel specific parts of the 2025 law known as Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5814, taking effect April 1, 2026 and doing so immediately under an emergency finding. In practice that means programs, spending plans, or administrative duties that would have flowed from the now-repealed sections will not take effect or must be unwound, potentially changing state agency workloads and any budget commitments tied to those provisions. The groups most affected are state government agencies and the public institutions that rely on or were to implement ESSB 5814; they may see changes to funding, responsibilities, implementation timelines, or reporting requirements. Because the specific text of the repealed sections and the meanings of RCW 82.32.805 and .808 are not included in the provided facts, the precise fiscal impacts, which agencies or external parties will gain or lose funding, and the operational steps needed to respond are unclear.
