Good News: We secured a hearing in the Ways & Means Committee!
Thanks to your advocacy, SB 5828 has secured a hearing in the Ways and Means Committee this Thursday at 1:30 PM. Scheduling this hearing was a major hurdle; after the public hearing, the bill needs a committee vote by the February 9 deadline to move forward.
Senate Bill 5828 will restore the Washington College Grant and College Bound cuts made during the 2025 legislative session for students attending private, nonprofit universities like PLU.

Things are moving fast
Why this bill? While there is a hearing on the House companion bill (HB 2567) on February 4th, the Senate Bill is our priority, as it is the most likely vehicle to reach a full-floor vote before the February 17 cutoff.
Thank you for your continued support!
