Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to budget sustainability; and amending RCW 2 43.88.030 and 43.88.055. 3
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing state law regarding budget sustainability by adjusting how "available fiscal resources" are calculated for the governor's operating budget and the legislature's enacted budget for the 2027-2029 and 2029-2031 fiscal biennia. Specifically, for these future biennia, "available fiscal resources" will be based solely on the official general fund and related funds revenue forecast, rather than the previous method which included a percentage increase over the current biennium's forecast. This change aims to ensure that projected spending does not exceed anticipated revenues, promoting a more stable and balanced budget by using a more direct revenue forecast for these specific future budget periods.
