Increasing Available Mental Healthcare
Senate Page Madelyn Karol asks members of the House Health Care committee, Democratic Representative Dan Bronoske and Republican Representative Andrew Engell, about access to information about women's health care.

Higher Ed & Workforce: AI in Higher Education
House page, Neil Kumar, asks members of the Senate Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee about what the legislature is doing to address middle income families who do not qualify for the Washington College Grant but do need financial aid. Senator T'wina Nobles, Democrat, and Senator Judy Warnick, Republican, acknowledge the issue and respond to the question.
Question:

What are some of the other benefits besides the Washington College Grant that families can access to go to college?
What are wraparound services, and how can the legislature help students afford those?

Human Services: Snap Food Programs & Funding Cuts
Legislative page, Jaden Hong, asks members of the House Early Learning and Human Services about youth involvement in policies that address emerging technologies. Representatives Bergquist and Eslick share their reasons for wanting today's youth to limit their screen time.
Question: As a Youth Advisor with the University of Washington Youth Advisory Board, I’ve worked on youth technology use and digital well-being based on input from thousands of students and families across Washington.

Law & Justice: Gun Rights & Effective Background Checks
Senate Page, Meiling Hou, asks Senators from the Senate Law and Justice Committee about the recent piece of legislation that passed off the Senate Floor, a bill that would require law enforcement officers to not wear face masks. Senators Manka Dhingra and Phil Fortunato respond to her question with their thoughts.

I learned that the Senate Law and Justice committee recently passed a bill that would enforce limitations on when law enforcement officers can wear face coverings while performing their duties.

Discussion/Comprehension Questions:
Why does Senator Fortunato say that law enforcement needs to wear masks?
What did Senator Fortunato do to have his concerns addressed?
Senator Dhingra and Senator Fortunato spoke of exceptions to law enforcement officers wearing masks. What exceptions were part of the bill?

Environment & Energy: Allocations of CCA Funds
Legislative Branch Explained –
See full series
The legislative session ended at 8:30pm on March 12th, but the law making process continues. 276 bills were passed by the state legislature in 2026, which represented less than 10% of the bills filed this year.
HB 2225, regulating AI Companion Chatbots, passed both the House and the Senate on March 12th. Once a bill is passed through both the House and the Senate and is signed by both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, it travels across the rotunda to the governor’s office. If the bill is passed fewer than five days before the end of session, he has 5 days to sign it into law. If the bill is passed within 5 days of the end of session, the governor has 20 days, not counting Sundays, to sign it into law.
Once a bill does reach the governor’s desk, the governor has 4 options:
Sign it into law. Most bills go into effect 90 days after the end of session.
Veto the entire bill. The bill will not be passed into law. The legislature can override a veto with a 2/3 vote in both the House and the Senate. If the governor vetoes a bill after session adjourns, the legislature can choose to override it the following legislative session.
Veto a section of the bill. The governor can only veto whole sections of policy bills, not a single line.
Do nothing. After 20 days, the bill will become law without the governor’s signature. This is rare.
Due to the complexity of the AI Chatbot legislation, it will not go into effect until January 1, 2027, giving companies time to set up compliance systems. Most of the bills passed this session, however, will go into effect on June 11, 2026.

The Final Step: Legislative Branch Explained
The Washington State Legislature runs on a series of self imposed cutoff dates. By 5pm on Friday, all bills must be passed through the Opposite House: House bills must pass through the Senate and Senate bills must pass through the House. If they do not get brought up for a vote, or they do not have the votes to pass, they are considered dead for the year.
Except!
Not all bills are subject to these cutoffs. Bills that deal with the budget (Operating, Capital, and Transportation) and bills that are deemed NTIB (Necessary to Implement the Budget) do not need to follow these cutoff calendars. But what does the acronym NTIB actually mean in practice? Hear from Civics Teacher for All, Ms. Paulson, and former Director of the Office of Financial Management Victor Moore, as they explains the ins and outs of NTIB bills.

NTIB: Legislative Branch Explained
Legislative priorities become progressively clearer as it gets closer and closer to Sine Die (the day the legislative session is over). Even bills that have support must be pulled from the Rules Committee to even be eligible for a vote, and even if they are, they then must be called to the floor by the majority party. Both the majority and the minority party have strategies they employ during these last few weeks of session, and they all involve how to manage the clock.
This week in Tech for Teens, we speak with Democratic Senator Lisa Wellman, the prime sponsor of the AI Companion Chatbot bill, and Republican Representative Travis Couture, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, about the importance of definitions in legislation, how time management works on the floor, and the differing opinions on the enforcement mechanism used in the AI Chatbot bill.

Time Management: Legislative Branch Explained
It is officially the second half of the legislative session! On Tuesday February 17th, all bills needed to be voted off the floor in their House of Origin to stay alive. This self-imposed deadline means that many of the bills that the House and Senate were considering did not make it past this cutoff. There is simply not enough time to debate and pass all of the bills that made it through committee. Sometimes a bill does not have the votes to pass, so leadership does not bring it up for a vote. Sometimes there is not enough time to debate and vote on all the bills, so leadership has to prioritize which bill to move to the floor for a vote.
Over 3,000 bills were filed during the 2026 legislative session. After the first policy committee cutoff on February 4th, 1,405 of them were still alive. After the second cutoff, House of Origin Fiscal Committee, 679 bills were still alive. Now, after the House of Origin cutoff, 401 are still alive.
Tech for Teens: the Personalized/Addictive Feeds Bill (HB 1834) failed to make it to the House Floor for a vote. The AI Companion Chatbot bills (HB 2225/SB 5984) did pass through both the House and the Senate, with amendments, and will now be heard in policy committees in the opposite chambers.
Discussion Questions:
Why are cutoff dates important?
What are some reasons why bills might not make it to the Floor for a vote?
What is a striker amendment and why are they introduced?
Why were some legislators against the bill?

AG Request Legislation: Legislative Branch Explained
It is almost the first cutoff date of this short legislative session, which means that bills must move out of the policy committee in their house of origin if they want to stay alive. This first cutoff is on Wednesday, February 4th. HB 2225, which would regulate the use of AI companion chatbots by minors, has already passed this cutoff and is now waiting to be heard on the floor of the House for a vote of the full chamber.
This week in Legislative Branch Explained, we examine the changes made to the bill between the public hearing and the executive session, focusing on the interplay between the governor’s office and the committee members as amendments to the bill language are suggested. Check out all the details on the new substitute bill in this 6 minute video.
Check out the Executive Session for yourself: https://tvw.org/video/house-technology-economic-development-veterans-2026011361/?eventID=2026011361
Discussion Questions:
Having watched previous week’s episodes of Legislative Branch Explained, why do legislators want to amend the bill?
How does the governor’s office work with legislators in amending the bill?
What happens at an Executive Session?
Why would a committee prefer a substitute rather than single amendments? When would amendments be preferred?
How does this substitute change the bill?
What is the next step in the legislative process for this bill?

Amendments Happen: Legislative Branch Explained
Legislators, while they may have expertise in certain subject matters, do not know all there is to know about every topic, so they want to (and need to) hear and learn from the public.
SB 5708, protecting children online, a bill requested by the attorney general, is working its way through the legislative process. Introduced in 2025, it failed to pass through both houses, so it is alive again in this second year of the biennium. Currently, advocates and stakeholders are “working the bill”. Experts have been called in to share their expertise in a work session in the Senate Businesses, Financial Services and Trade Committee. Lobbyists who represent the tech industries have been meeting with legislators on both sides of the aisle. Advocates have been meeting with legislators, testifying in front of committees, and holding rallies to amplify their message. Learn about how people “work the bill” and more about proposed government regulations of social media for minors.

Opening Ceremonies (2025) Legislative Branch Explained
When many people think of "the government", they think of legislators giving long winded speeches on the floor of the House and the Senate. However, most of the work done during the Legislative Session is done in committees. Committees are the place where bills are researched, discussed, debated, and voted upon. Committees are where the public has the chance to have their voices heard, and committees allow legislators to focus on a specific topic so that the nuances of a proposed law are clear. In this 4 minute episode of Capitol Classroom+, you will experience the anatomy of the committee room, so that when you watch a committee hearing on TVW, you know the ins and outs.
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
What are the four important areas of the Committee Room?
Who are the Legislative Staffers and what do they do?
Why is it important for the staffers to be non-partisan?
Why do you think transparency in the legislature is important?

Prime Sponsorship: Does your bill have juice? Legislative Branch Explained
In a democracy like ours, civic engagement is imperative. There are numerous ways to make your voice heard by the government: voting, protesting, petitioning, boycotting, or writing to your legislators. But there is another way that many people may not know about or may find too intimidating: testifying at a public hearing for a pending piece of legislation. In this 7 minute video, Ms. Paulson talks to lobbyist Melissa Gombosky and Representative Andrew Barkis about the importance of testifying at a public hearing, as well as tips for what to do with your time at the microphone.
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
What are ways that students can get engaged in the legislative process?
Why is it important to be “on the record”?
What advice does Melissa Gombosky give to those who want to testify at a public hearing?
How should someone who wishes to testify prepare?
How can people plan to testify as a panel?
Why is showing respect so important when testifying?
Why do legislators want to listen to the public? How does it help with their decision making?

Public Testimony - Legislative Branch Explained
Having your bill heard in committee is one of the first hurdles that your bill must make on its way to becoming law. Understanding the power that the Chair of the Committee wields will help you clear this hurdle. Chairs set the agenda for the committees, which means that they decide which bills will get a public hearing and which bills will be put up for a vote. With thousands of bills vying to make their way to becoming a law and only so much time, the Chair must choose bills that are "fully cooked" and ready to become laws. In this week's episode, hear from Chair of the Senate Law and Justice Committee, Senator Manka Dhingra, and how she works with all members of the Washington State Legislature to pass legislation that betters the lives of Washingtonians.
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
How many committees are in the state legislature?
What powers do the Committee Chairs have?
Why does the Committee Chair not hear all bills?
What components does a “well worked” bill have?
How do the majority party and the minority party work together?
Why is implementation important?

The Committee Chair - Legislative Branch Explained
Cutoffs are a necessary part of the legislative process, designed to keep bills moving forward. The Washington State Legislature is a part-time citizen legislature, meeting for 60 says in even numbered years and 105 days in odd numbered years. In order to ensure that bills move through the legislative process, the legislature uses a set of self imposed deadlines called cutoffs. In the 2025 session, we have just passed our first cutoff. By Friday February 21st, all bills that are not necessary to implement the budget (NTIB) must pass out of the policy committee in their House of Origin. Bills will then have one more week before the next cutoff, where they have to make it out of the fiscal committee in the House of Origin.
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
Why are cutoffs important to the legislative process?
When legislators are considering whether to move a piece of legislation forward, what priorities are they considering?
What might make an issue “not ready yet”?
What can you do to ensure that your bill makes it past the next cutoff?
How can you stay engaged even if the bill does not make it past the cutoff?

Fiscal Committees - Legislative Branch Explained
In order for a bill to move along in the Legislative Process, it must be voted on by the entire House and Senate. This is done "on the floor", where all members gather to hear and debate bills. These gatherings on the floor are very formal and strict procedural rules are followed. This allows debate to be civil, orderly, and timely in nature. In this 6 minute video, Ms. Paulson speaks to Lieutenant Governor Denny Heck, who is also President of the Senate, about the Orders of Business that help govern actions on the floor. Watch this before you watch a Floor Debate, so you, like the Lt. Governor, know what the heck is going on.
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
How does every Floor Session begin?
Why do you think it is important to be so formal in a floor debate?
What are some of the rules regarding how members may speak on the Floor?
Why do you think members vote to conduct their business out of “order”?
What does the staff at the rostrum do? Why are they important?
When are new amendments introduced?
The Senate votes by voice while the House votes using an electronic vote counter. What benefits do you think there are to voting by voice and roll call? What benefits are there to using electronic voting?
Why is it important to stay focused on the issue?

Floor Debate - Legislative Branch Explained
Here in Olympia, there is a concept called "the 5 o'clock bill." The legislature operates on a series of self imposed deadlines that are designed to winnow down the thousands of bills that are introduced each year to the few hundred that are passed into law. March 12th marked the halfway point in the legislative session, and all bills needed to move out of their House of Origin by 5pm. To learn why some legislators debated late into the night on the 12th, watch this 5 minute video that explains some of the strategies behind the "5 o'clock bill".
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
Why is time management the key to bills making it out of the Chamber of Origin?
Why does the legislature leave controversial bills to the end?
Why would you find a lot of amendments on controversial bills?
What does it mean to “love a bill to death”?
What strategies are employed during these cutoff times?
What do you think happens during the caucuses after the 5 o’Clock bill is introduced?
Why do legislators work late during the cutoff times?

Five O'Clock Bill - Legislative Branch Explained
As in most states, and in the federal government, our Legislature is split into a House of Representatives and a Senate. Bills must pass through each chamber to make their way to the governor's desk. We spoke with Republican Representative Chris Corry and Democrat Senator Yasmin Trudeau about the parallel processes in the adjoining chambers, as well as how the second half of the legislative process allows for more consideration time on bills while simultaneously moving ever closer to the next cutoff date. During the "second half", bills can still be amended and all changes to the bill take more time to discuss, which could make it less likely to pass this year.
Discussion Questions for the Classroom:
What happens to bills that did not make it out of the House of Origin?
Why is it a benefit to have a bill go to the Opposite Chamber?
Why does the Opposite Chamber make amendments to a bill?
Why is there more pressure on the Prime Sponsor when a bill makes it to the Opposite Chamber?
Why is negotiation important?
Why does time always work against you?
How do bills change in the Opposite Chamber?
Why is the democratic process a beneficial thing?

What Does the Judicial Branch Do?
Courts of Limited Jurisdiction and Superior Courts hear both criminal and civil cases. Various people on the street had a clear understanding of the differences between the two. Scholars, however, add to the narrative by explaining the reasoning why some offenses are part of the criminal code and why some are civil matters.

How to Get Legal Advice?
When a person is cited with a parking ticket or a speeding ticket, they generally have to pay fines and fees to the court. Where the funds from these civil infractions go depends on the jurisdiction, but most stay in the county or municipality where the infraction was cited. In terms of fines and fees for criminal offenses, the situation becomes a bit more complicated. Hear from Judge Mary Logan of Spokane Municipal Court and Judge Katie Loring from San Juan Superior Court explain how the thinking about fines and fees has changed in the last 10-15 years.
Essential Question: To what extent should people pay fines and fees if they are convicted of a crime?
Discussion questions:
1. What is the difference between fines and fees for civil infractions and fines and fees for criminal offenses?
2. When it comes to fines and fees, how has the law changed over the past 15 years?

How are Parenting Plans Decided?
The Constitution is the highest law in the state, and no law can go against the Constitution. One of the jobs the Supreme Court is tasked with is deciding whether specific laws that are brought before them are Constitutional or not.

Discussion Questions:
1. Why could the Washington State Supreme Court be seen as the highest court in the state?
2. For what cases does the Washington State Supreme Court not have the final say?
3. What role does the legislature have when a law is declared unconstitutional?
4. What is a judicial precedent? How do later courts contend with Supreme Court precedents?

What happens if a law is declared unconstitutional?
Together, district and municipal courts are known as the Courts of Limited Jurisdiction. District courts are county courts, while municipal courts are city courts. These courts are called limited jurisdiction because they are limited in their ability to hear only lower level offenses: infractions, misdemeanors, and gross misdemeanors. Additionally, district courts hear civil cases up to $100,000. Washington courts are leveled, and this lowest level of courts hears the majority of cases filed in Washington.
Discussion Questions:
What types of cases do Courts of Limited Jurisdiction hear?
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a gross misdemeanor?
What are the differences between cases filed in municipal courts and cases filed in district courts?
Why is sentencing discretion important at this court level?

WA Courts: District & Municipal Courts
How much do you know about the juvenile justice system in Washington State? The juvenile courts are a division of the Superior Courts, and they focus solely on juvenile issues. The courts address both civil and criminal cases; the civil cases are primarily truancy, child welfare, and family services. When judges are dealing with juvenile offender cases, there is a concerted focus on rehabilitation, recognizing that youth’s brain development is still occurring and there needs to be a different form of sentencing happening than in adult court. Hear Thurston County judge, Indu Thomas, explain her work as a Superior Court judge in the juvenile division.

Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Introducing Mike Hoover: Your Soon-to-Be Favorite Parliamentarian (1 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Hello, I am Parliamentarian Mike Hoover and I will explain the Legislative Process.
I’ve been a Parliamentarian for most of 3 decades - Somebody has got to do it.
I’ve done it for the Senate, the House, King County Council, even my Cub Scouts Troop.
A Parliamentarian is just a fancy word for someone who works in parliamentary procedure and that is just a fancy word for legislative process.
One thing I warn students is that the legislative process can seem overwhelming - don’t be overwhelmed, it’s easy
There’s a lot of steps but you just need to focus on where it is now and where it goes next.
Don’t need to know everything, just the key steps and we’re going to go through those in detail.

#1 Introducing Mike Hoover: Your Soon to Be Favorite Parliamentarian
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - What is the Law? (2 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Most people think of criminal law, but the criminal code is a small portion of the law
The rest are rules and regulations, such as:
Rules on how to process wheat
Curriculum in schools
The content of gasoline at the pump
Collectively all of the laws together are referred to as the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
The way to change the law in the RCW is with a bill. Which is a “wanna -be law”
Bills start as a good idea that has been introduced by a legislator
It is written like a law
It is a suggestion to be added into the RCW that must be voted on by the Legislature
Keep in mind, many more bills are introduced than become law

#2 What is the Law?
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - What is the Legislature? (2 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
The Legislature is made up of people. Regular people.
We have a part-time legislature:
Odd years are the long session (105 days)
Even years is the short session (60 days)
The two sessions combined make up a Biennium
When the session is over they return to their regular jobs.

#3 What is the Legislature?
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - The Three Branches (3 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Why is our system of government and making laws so complicated? Because It was intended to be difficult to pass laws and to make sure we get it “right.”
Three branches: the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislative
The Legislative branch makes and passes the laws
The Executive implements and enforces the laws
The Judiciary interprets whether the law is being interpreted correctly or is constitutional in the first place.
Each step helps to “perfect” the bill (get more eyes on it) to make sure it is written correctly and will make sense for the Executive to implement it.
Steps also allow for the public to see it and comment on it
In those instances where the law is passed and the people are unsure it is being implemented correctly or is constitutional they are able to bring it to the Judiciary.
This is called ‘Checks and Balances’.

#4 The Three Branches
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - The Legislative Process (2 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
The Legislative Process is a series of steps that bills must go through to be enacted. Each step must be completed in a certain period of time.
The Legislature is split into 2 chambers (Senate & House)
In order to become law the exact same bill must pass both chambers in the exact same form (no changes) in the exact same session.
This allows more elected officials to “perfect” a bill before it is passed
The basic steps are:
Policy Committee
Fiscal Committee
Floor Debate
Then pass over to the other chamber to start again
If the bill passes through the second chamber unchanged it goes to the Governor's desk who can sign it, veto it, or do nothing and allow it to pass into law without signature.

Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
A private citizen with an interest in a particular topic and an expertise in the legislative process
Lobbyists are hired (paid and unpaid) because:
The process is complicated
As I explained before The process takes a long time (very time-consuming)
Lobbyists act on clients' behalf (alter-ego) in Olympia
The term lobbyist comes from waiting in the lobby to speak to legislators when they exit the chambers.

#6 What is a Lobbyist?
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Policy Committees (3 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
It’s the only time all bills have the same status
All that has happened is that bills have been:
“Introduced”
Given a number
Sent to a Policy Committee
Policy Committees are organized by topic
Members specialize on their areas of expertise within committees
Committee members look at bills assigned to the committee and act on two phases:
A Public Hearing - Interested parties from the public weigh in / testify on a bill
Executive Session - is the term for when they vote on it to send it out of committee
Committees vary in size.

#7 Policy Committees
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Fiscal Committees (3 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Fiscal Committees are where bills go if they cost money
We are in a short session, but still go to a fiscal committee if costs money
Ways & Means
Appropriations
Capital Budget
Transportation
They decide: Does the state want to spend money on these great ideas?
Reason it follows policy committee is because the policy committee may not worry about the cost
EX. Every student gets a laptop, big screen and high speed internet
Great idea but fiscal committee may decide not to do all/part/any of that
Fiscal Committee also has to decide how to raise money to pay for it
This is with FEES & Taxes
Great idea we will fund it with a fee
A lot of the groups who want the idea are ok with the fee
Ex. Fisherman want improvements to a dock
We are willing to pay $5 docking fees to pay for it
You may not think people want to raise their own taxes but it actually does happen
Everything has got to be paid for
Unlike DC where they can print money and run deficits
Our state cannot do that -The Budget must be balanced

#8 Fiscal Committees
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Rules Committee (3 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
What is the Rules Committee?
Not a policy committee or a fiscal committee and it doesn’t look at rules. It is a political step between committee action and the Floor, it is the Gatekeeper
Political reasons
Time management Reasons
Average bill in the Senate takes 5 minutes to pass
Not enough time even around the clock
Anything that is stuck in Rules is another way to say it is “dead for the session”.
Legislative leadership rarely serve on committees, they generally stay above that.
But they do serve on the Rules Committee and so do other key members of leadership - Speaker and Majority Leader etc.
Rules is a chance for leadership to decide what they really want to hit the Floor for a vote.

Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Public Input (2 min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Most bills don’t die with fiery speeches on the Floor
Most commonly they fail to advance by a certain timeline
You can influence that by engaging in the process at a key step
Testify
Write a letter
Know what you want to see happen and explain
The public has power when citizens engage in the process
Your Voice Matters

#10 Public Input
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - What is an Amendment? (2min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Bills often don’t remain the same, they are often changed
Amendments is the name for changes in a bill
2 big changes are:
Striker
Substitute
Both replace the entire language of a bill
Don’t get confused on the terms, amendments are just a “wanna be” part of a bill.

#11 What is an Amendment?
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Floor: What is Decorum? (3min)
Don’t want people attacking each other - fun to watch but it’s a bad thing
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
What is the Floor? Floor of Senate or House
The chamber and everybody in it at the same time
All 49 in the Senate and 98 members in the House - That's what the Floor is
All sorts of rules, decorum to process. What is decorum?
Rules on how members treat each other
Speak to ideas not people, policies not personalities
Meant to depersonalize conflict - Don’t want people attacking each other - fun to watch but it’s a bad thing
Decorum also speeds up the process by avoiding distractions
Not allowed to use each other's names but rather, ‘Gentle Lady from the 26th district’ etc.
Don't want it to get personal
No impugning motives

#12 The Floor: What is Decorum??
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - The Floor: 1st 2nd & 3rd Readings Explained (2min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
What are Readings?
Terms come from English Parliament
1st, 2nd & 3rd Readings
I’ve heard two explanations, you decide:
1) Long ago, some members could not read, so it was read to them
2) No copy machines. No ability to have own copy of a bill
How do you know what's in it? Have it read aloud.
1st - Read at committee introduction
2nd - Bill read with the changes made by the committee
3rd - Final form of bill before the committee’s final vote out of committee

Looks easy, like there’s no conflict, but the conflict really happens off camera so it looks smooth...
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Everything that happiness on the Floor is highly scripted
They get a Floor calendar and they go to caucus - get ready to wait
Majority & minority split up into separate rooms
A lot of shuttle diplomacy running between the two rooms to hammer out a deal
“We don't have time to do your 30 amends. Let's do 4?”
Overwhelming majority of bills are bipartisan
Last chance to weigh in before it heads to the other chamber
Looks easy, like there’s no conflict, but the conflict really happens off camera so it looks smooth

#14 The Floor: What is Caucus?
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - The Floor: Where BIG CHANGES Can Happen (2min)
What can happen to your bill on the Floor after it’s made it this far?
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
What can happen to your bill on the Floor after it’s made it this far?
Not uncommon for big changes on the Floor, Why?
Only committee members have had a chance to work on the bill
Some of chamber members have not had a chance to speak on it
Leadership will often make changes because they want the bill voted out or it is dead.
The people who are offering amendments know that there’s a time limit for passing bills
They are willing to run out the clock and hold a bill hostage so other bill don’t get passed
Other members care but not to the point to kill their own bill
Making changes can add votes, but can also lose votes - must have majority
Rarely does a bill come up and fail- votes are counted in advance
Maybe your bill gets a striking amendment that completely changes it
Laptops for every student, last minute change makes it a study
What happened? That is what they thought they needed to do to get it out
Is it even worth having the bill at this point?
At what point has the bill changed so much, you can’t support it?
Or is something better than nothing, study means do it next year

#15 The Floor: Where BIG CHANGES Can Happen
The fiscal committees in the Washington State Legislature (House Finance, House Appropriations, and Senate Ways and Means) not only look at the financial components of bills that are assigned to their committees, but the Chairs also compile all that information into three biennial budgets: Operating, Capital, and Transportation. Budget bills travel through the legislative process just like all other bills, and this week the Operating and Transportation budget proposals were released.
In this 6 minute video, we turn to our ever popular Parliamentarian, Mike Hoover, to explain what exactly the three budgets are, including how the Legislature knows how much money they have to spend.

#16 The State Budget(s)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - What is an Amendment? (2min)
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
If your bill has made it through the Policy, Fiscal and Floor, congratulations! But don’t sit down, still work to be done…
Script:
What is the concurrence/dispute process?
If your bill has made it through the Policy, Fiscal and Floor, congratulations! But don’t sit down, still work to be done…
Now everything your bill just did, it has to go over to the other chamber and do it all over again
Each bill has to be voted on in the exact same language by both chambers in the same session.
So what do you do if you have differences? There’s a process called Dispute and Concurrence.
Suppose you have a bill in the Senate and they think it’s perfect, but the House has the audacity to slap some changes on it.
The Senate may “CONCUR”. It doesn’t mean they like it, but they can live with it. they vote on it and It’s on its way to the Gov.
Now imagine they don’t concur
They “DISPUTE” the changes.
It can ping pong back and forth - if they don’t agree, the bill is dead.
Or they can find a different change that they both agree on.
Last option is to convene a Conference Committee with 6 total members, 3 from each chamber - they create a Conference Report which cannot be amended and they create their own agreement that the House and Senate can vote yes or no on

#17 Concurrence & Dispute
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) - Final Step: The Governor's Desk (3 min)
There are rules on what the Gov can and cannot veto...
Civics 101 in 120 Seconds (ish) is your straightforward guide through the often confounding legislative process.
Script:
Your bill has been passed by the House and Senate both - Now it’s on the Governor’s desk:
The Governor has choices:
Sign it into law
Veto it
Partial Veto
Allow it to pass into law unsigned
Veto-
Legislature can override the veto but it takes a super majority and is very rare
Most of the time the Gov loves your bill
There has been communication with the Governor throughout the legislative session
Partial Veto
There are rules on what the Gov can and cannot veto
Usually a whole section or a line item veto
Most often bills get signed unchanged

PCO: Privileges & Responsibilities
Redistricting is in the news now more than ever! Normally, redistricting happens every 10 years, but in Washington, the legislative and congressional maps changed in 2024. I went to bed in one district, and woke up in another! Help your students understand how legislative districts work in WA.
📣 Get easy to use Washington State Election Lesson Plans: https://www.teachwithtvw.org/lesson-plans/
Every 10 years, our legislative and congressional district lines are redrawn and thus your district may have changed since the last presidential election. However, due to a legal challenge to the redistricting done after the 2020 census, 13 legislative districts changed as of the first week in April 2024.

2024 WA State Democratic Convention
What is the purpose of an endorsement in an election? Learn about how different organizations endorse candidates. Focus: the Mainstream Republicans of Washington. Founded in 1969, the Mainstream Republicans of Washington held their annual conference in May to discuss issues facing the state, endorse candidates for office, and to brainstorm how to combat divisiveness within the state. From panel discussions on the fentanyl crisis and dam removal to Building Bridges across the aisle, Republicans from across the state gathered to exchange views on how to best get Mainstream Republicans elected to office.

Don't be confused about elections! Beef up your civics education and learn how candidates get their names on the ballot. At the Secretary of State's office, the first week of May is also known as FILING WEEK! Candidates who want to run for office fill out their candidate declaration forms and pay their filing fee, officially making them eligible to be on the ballot. While this process is generally procedural and ceremonial in nature, there are laws and formalities followed that ensure that the process is equitable and fair for both the candidate and the voter.

Voters' Guides: Elections Explained
Elections across the country are under a microscope, and Washington State is no exception. Students from across the state submitted questions for Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs, the State's chief elections officer. Questions ranged from how does the state balance security and access to the franchise to what is the role of AI in the election process.
🎬 Watch the Whole Elections Explained Series - With Lesson Plans: https://teachwithtvw.org/elections-explained/
In the United States, elections are decentralized, and each state conducts their elections slightly differently. In Washington State, the State Legislature has passed laws that expand access to the elected franchise. Simultaneously, concerns over the security of the United States’ voting system have continued to grow over the last 10 years. One of the jobs of the Secretary of State’s office is to educate voters about the Electoral Process.

Redistricting is in the news now more than ever! Normally, redistricting happens every 10 years, but in Washington, the legislative and congressional maps changed in 2024. I went to bed in one district, and woke up in another! Help your students understand how legislative districts work in WA.
📣 Get easy to use Washington State Election Lesson Plans: https://www.teachwithtvw.org/lesson-plans/
Every 10 years, our legislative and congressional district lines are redrawn and thus your district may have changed since the last presidential election. However, due to a legal challenge to the redistricting done after the 2020 census, 13 legislative districts changed as of the first week in April 2024.

Labor Union Endorsements
What is the purpose of an endorsement in an election? Learn about how different organizations endorse candidates. Focus: the Mainstream Republicans of Washington. Founded in 1969, the Mainstream Republicans of Washington held their annual conference in May to discuss issues facing the state, endorse candidates for office, and to brainstorm how to combat divisiveness within the state. From panel discussions on the fentanyl crisis and dam removal to Building Bridges across the aisle, Republicans from across the state gathered to exchange views on how to best get Mainstream Republicans elected to office.

2024 WA State Democratic Convention
Don't be confused about elections! Beef up your civics education and learn how candidates get their names on the ballot. At the Secretary of State's office, the first week of May is also known as FILING WEEK! Candidates who want to run for office fill out their candidate declaration forms and pay their filing fee, officially making them eligible to be on the ballot. While this process is generally procedural and ceremonial in nature, there are laws and formalities followed that ensure that the process is equitable and fair for both the candidate and the voter.

Candidate Filing Week
Elections across the country are under a microscope, and Washington State is no exception. Students from across the state submitted questions for Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs, the State's chief elections officer. Questions ranged from how does the state balance security and access to the franchise to what is the role of AI in the election process.
🎬 Watch the Whole Elections Explained Series - With Lesson Plans: https://teachwithtvw.org/elections-explained/
In the United States, elections are decentralized, and each state conducts their elections slightly differently. In Washington State, the State Legislature has passed laws that expand access to the elected franchise. Simultaneously, concerns over the security of the United States’ voting system have continued to grow over the last 10 years. One of the jobs of the Secretary of State’s office is to educate voters about the Electoral Process.

In this video and corresponding lesson, students will hear from Washington Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs, as he answers questions from students about election integrity in Washington State. After examining how Washington ensures the equitable access of the franchise while also ensuring the safety of the ballot, students will compare how Washington conducts its elections with how its neighbor state of Idaho conducts their elections. Finally, students will imagine that they are presenting a proposal to the National Association of State Legislatures that highlights the aspects of Washington’s electoral process the student thinks other states should adopt.

Native Civics: The Medicine Creek Treaty, 1854 to Present
Past and present members of the Office of Native Education discuss the origin of the curriculum, the instrumental role of Senator McCoy, the need to include more native voices into the curriculum, and the historic impact of including native language into Washington State law.
The John McCoy (lulilaš) Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State Curriculum has been endorsed by all 29 Federally Recognized tribes in Washington and advocates a collaborative approach between the school districts and the tribes. The curriculum uses three main approaches to teach tribal sovereignty: inquiry based with five essential questions, place based on the tribes in the school's community, and an integrated approach that ties in with already approved social studies units.

In 2005, the Washington State Legislature passed House Bill 1495, which encouraged school districts to partner with their closest federally recognized native tribe to develop relationships and curriculum that taught tribal history, government, culture, and language.
The law was strengthened in 2015, when school districts were required to adopt this curriculum when the district reviewed or adopted new social studies curricula. And, in 2024, the curriculum was renamed in honor of the late Tulalip elder and Washington State Senator, John McCoy (lulilaš).
The Office of Native Education (ONE) at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction administers this curriculum, which was tribally developed and is free and readily available for all ages at their website.

John McCoy (lulilaš) Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State Curriculum
Washington state is where collaborative governance on natural resources began in the early 1970s, with a groundbreaking agreement to resolve conflicts over flood control on the Snoqualmie River. As the new field grew, it helped to resolve a key civil rights struggle over tribal fishing rights in Washington known as the “Fish Wars,” which came to a head in a landmark legal case referred to as the Boldt Decision. After the US Supreme Court upheld the Boldt Decision’s recognition of tribal treaty rights, the parties eventually turned to collaborative governance to resolve their conflict, and the resulting state/tribal co-management of salmon and steelhead persists to this day. Since then, collaborative approaches in Washington have led to many groundbreaking outcomes, greatly influencing the rest of the nation over a 50-year history.
