Maddy summaryHB 2746 reduces Washington State's 2028 property tax levy by $2.1 billion, specifically by lowering the "part I highest lawful levy" amount used in tax calculations for that year. This adjustment directly affects all Washington property owners through the state's property tax system, as it modifies how tax rates are applied to assessed property values. The bill amends existing tax law (RCW 84.52.065) to implement this specific reduction for 2028, while maintaining the $3.60 per $1,000 assessed value cap for future years. It does not change current tax rates or provide immediate relief, only setting a defined reduction for the 2028 tax collection period.

Maddy summaryHB 2743 reduces Washington state property taxes by $2.1 billion for 2027, applying to all property owners statewide. The bill amends tax code to cap the combined state property tax rate at $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value and mandates this specific $2.1 billion reduction in the 2027 tax levy. It does not change tax rates for prior years but sets a permanent cap on future combined tax levies. This is a direct adjustment to the state's property tax collection amount, not a rate change for individual properties. The bill affects all taxable property within Washington, as the tax is statewide.

It recognizes his legacy of consensus-building between tribes, state authorities, and diverse stakeholders to uphold treaty obligations and protect Washington's ecosystems. The resolution does not create new policy but serves as a symbolic tribute to his advocacy.

Maddy summaryHB 2742 creates an annual sales and use tax holiday in Washington for qualifying items priced at $500 or less per item. It exempts these items from both sales tax (under RCW 82.08) and use tax (under RCW 82.12) during a four-day period each year, specifically from 12:00 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving through 11:59 p.m. on the Monday after Thanksgiving. The tax holiday directly affects all Washington residents purchasing qualifying items during this window, providing temporary financial relief on everyday goods like clothing, school supplies, or electronics. The Department of Revenue must establish administrative rules and provide taxpayer guidance to implement the holiday, consistent with existing tax agreements.
