Bill has passed the state House of Representatives and the state Senate  
Companion Bill SB5124
Finds that: (1) Citizens demand and deserve accountability of public programs. Public programs must continuously improve in quality, efficiency, and effectiveness in order to increase public trust; (2) Washington state government and other entities that receive tax dollars must continuously improve the way they operate and deliver services so citizens receive maximum value for their tax dollars; (3) An independent citizen oversight board is necessary to establish an annual assessment and performance grading program to ensure that government services, customer satisfaction, program efficiency, and management systems are world class in performance; and (4) Fair, independent, professional performance audits of state agencies by the state auditor are essential to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government. Provides that the act shall be null and void if appropriations are not approved.
SHB 1076 College in high school HApprop 3/2/2005 Kenney  
Bill has passed the state House of Representatives 
Companion Bill is SB 5076
The Running Start program provides students the opportunity to earn dual credit for classes offered on the campus of a two or four-year institution of higher education. Program rules provide for a distribution of funds from the student's school district to the institution of higher education to cover the cost of the student's participation. A comparable funding mechanism does not exist for programs in which students earn credit for college classes offered at their high school campus. This approach is called "College in the High School." The original bill created a statewide "College in the High School" program and established a funding structure for all college courses offered at a high school campus. The substitute bill limits the program to six pilot sites, a majority of which must be in rural districts where students have little or no access to Running Start courses. The substitute also requires reporting back to the Legislature, including a recommendation regarding whether the CHS pilot program should be continued or expanded.

EHB 1268 Stem cell research SFailed 3rd 4/18/2005 Schual-Berke  
Bill passed the state House of Representatives but was defeated 23-26 on the Senate floor. Despite a motion for reconsideration, the bill is in trouble.
The Human Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee (Committee) is established. The Committee is responsible for developing guidelines for conducting research on human embryonic stem cells in Washington. The donation of human embryonic tissue or human cadaveric fetal tissue for research purposes is permitted by the legislation. The sale of such tissues is a felony. Reasonable payments to cover certain expenses are allowed. Reproductive cloning or attempted reproductive cloning of a human being is prohibited and carries a civil penalty of $100,000 for each violation. Cloning is a process by which a genetically identical organism is created by asexual reproduction, i.e., without the fertilization of an egg by a sperm. Sheep, cows, cats, and mice have all been cloned successfully. The use of human eggs or human sperm that have been donated for the purpose of assisted reproduction may not be used for research purposes without the donor's written consent. Twenty-two of 23 votes for the bill on the Senate floor April 11 were Democrats. The one Republican voting yes was Senate Minority Leader Bill Finkbeiner. Democrats voting no included Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, Sen. Jim Hargrove, Sen. Tim Sheldon, and Sen. Mark Doumit.

A list of minimum requirements for the what must be reported back is included in the bill.
HB 1434 Higher education strategy HHigher Educ 1/24/2005 Jarrett Support/Amendment
Bill appears to have failed in the 2005 session. See E2SSB 5441.
This bill is intended as a comprehensive plan for the funding of higher education institutions, generally regarded as the position of the minority House Republican caucus. It declares an intent to articulate a strategic direction for public higher education on issues of access, affordability, service delivery, and accountability that will guide coordinated decision making on policies, operating budgets, and capital plans. The bill states that additional investment in higher education is needed, but the public deserves assurance that such an investment is based on a clear plan and will be carefully managed with specific expectations and measurable outcomes.

An amendment adopted in the Senate Ways and Means Committee requires that expansion of baccalaureate education at the branch campuses must occur in accordance with student transfer "proportionality" agreements developed with the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. Such agreements usually set a floor for the minimum number of community college transfer students that a branch campus will accept.

ESSB 5509 Green buildings C 12 L 05 4/8/2005 Poulsen Neutral
Bill has passed the Legislature and signed by the governor into law 
Passed the state Senate 32-16 on March 11. Passed the state House of Representatives 78-19 on March 30. Finds that public buildings can be built and renovated using high-performance methods that save money, improve school performance, and make workers more productive. High-performance green buildings are proven to increase student test scores, reduce worker absenteeism, and cut energy and utility costs. Declares an intent that state-owned buildings and schools be improved by adopting nationally recognized standards for high-performance green buildings and allowing flexible methods and choices in how to achieve those standards.

SSB 5575 Higher ed student population SRules X 4/6/2005 Kohl-Welles Support
Bill appears to have failed in the 2005 session.
Declares an intent to give universities and colleges some flexibility in considering race, color, ethnicity, or national origin as positive factors in their admission and transfer policies to promote diversity by enrolling meaningful numbers of students from groups that would not otherwise be so represented. To ensure the highest quality of education is provided at our universities and colleges, they must have the ability to engage in a holistic review of each applicant that includes all the positive qualities and experiences that an applicant possesses. Declares it is not the intent to allow any form of quota or set aside system to be implemented by a university or college to insulate an applicant from comparison with all other candidates solely because of his or her racial status.
E2SSB 5581 Life sciences research HPassed 3rd 4/16/2005 Brown Support
Life Sciences Discovery Fund
Bill has passed the state Senate and House in different forms.  
The measure will begin investing up to $350 million in tobacco settlement dollars in 2008 to university research in partnership with private sector firms. The amount may be $35 million per year. The measure, supported by Washington State University and the University of Washington, cleared a major hurdle April 16 when it passed the state House of Representatives 53-40 after long debate over a series of amendments, most of them unsuccessful. A similar (but not identical) bill passed the Senate 45-4 on March 11. The major difference between the House and Senate versions is that the Senate version has restrictions on cloning. Both bills direct the Legislature to spend Strategic Contribution Payments under the tobacco settlement to the Life Sciences Discovery Fund. Creates the Life Sciences Discovery Fund Authority (Authority) as an agency of the state. They vest the powers of the Authority in a board of trustees, consisting of seven gubernatorial appointees and four legislative appointees. It directs the Legislature to transfer amounts received as Strategic Contribution Payments under the tobacco settlement to the Life Sciences Discovery Fund. It impowers the Authority to leverage public moneys in the Life Sciences Discovery Fund with amounts received from other public and private sources, in order to promote life sciences research. It authorizes the authority to make grants from the non-appropriated Life Sciences Discovery Fund for the promotion of life sciences research to be conducted in the state.

ESSB 6090 Operating budget 2005-07 HCC appt 4/22/2005 Prentice Support
Legislative Operating Budget Proposal
Bill has passed the state Senate and the state House in different forms 
 This is the operating budget bill that has passed each house in some form. The Senate-passed version of the budget charges students higher tuition than the governor but invests less money in student programs than the governor or the House. The Senate funds more student enrollment increases but at substantially less dollars per student than the House and governor, and cuts programs. Both House and Senate budgets provide salary increases averaging 3.2 percent, cuts non-instructional areas by 1 percent. Both budgets raise tuition for undergraduate students by 7 percent. The Senate budget takes $14.6 million in tuition moneys (half) and shifts them to the general fund. This shift or "claw back" was not done by the House and is opposed by WSU. Tuition rate increases of 8.5 percent to 11 percent are assumed by the Senate for most non-resident and graduate students. The Senate budget provides $2 million for veterinary medicine enrollments, $8.3 million in new enrollments but the FTE funding is inadequate, around $5,500 per student. Provides $500,000 in start-up funds to begin admitting freshmen and sophomores at WSU Vancouver. The Senate budget provides $400,000 to control ghost shrimp at Willapa Bay.
ESSB 6094 Capital budget HPassed FP 4/22/2005 Fraser Concerns
Legislative Capital Construction Budget Proposal
A conference committee report has been proposed and passed by the state Senate 
The final conference committee report differed drastically from the higher education facilities priorities list prepared by the baccalaureate institutions at the direction of the legislature. Funding is not provided in either the Senate or the House budget , or the conference committee report, for the Biotechnology Life Sciences building. Governors Gregoire and Locke each provided $45 million of the $57.1 needed to construct this high priority building. Also not funded in the final bill is the wastewater reclamation project. Among projects funded in the budget is $13.1 million for the Tri-Cities Bioproducts building. This building is a joint project with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), who will provide additional funding. Also in thebudget is $31.6 million for construction costs of the Spokane Riverpoint Nursing Center (the House had proposed giving the project to EWU ) and $10.6 million for the Student Services Building at WSU Vancouver. No legislative budgets provided funding for the Pullman wastewater facility or any other major construction projects for Pullman. However, significant funding was provided for so-called “minor works” projects that will largely be spent on the Pullman campus and address issues like, health safety, preservation, equipment and infrastructure. The final conference budget provided $6 million for minor capital improvements where the House budget has recommended $8 million. The conference report reflected other funding levels that the House and Senate had agreed on including $30.5 million for preservation projects, and $2 million for health and safety. The final budget provided $7 million for equipment as the House recommended. The Senate had recommended $8.5 million. The compromise budget approved $10.6 million for the next major building at WSU Vancouver, the student services center. That building, which had not been recommended by the governor, was in both House and Senate budgets. The conference budget also approved pre-design and design projects for Vancouver which were not recommended by the House but were supported by the Senate. The design funding means that WSU Vancouver will have projects on the capital construction list for at least the next six years. Construction will start soon on the student services center. The compromise budget provides design funds for an undergraduate classroom building that could be ready for construction in 2007-2009. The budget provides pre-design funding for an Applied Technology and Classroom building that could be constructed in 2009-2011..
