HB 1109 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning public facilities districts.

House Bill 1109 modifies the regulations for public facilities districts concerning their authority to impose sales and use taxes. It extends the maximum period for collecting these taxes from 40 years to 55 years when used to finance or refinance regional centers and related parking facilities. The bill also specifies the conditions under which certain public facilities districts are eligible to impose these taxes and allows them to increase their tax rates to mitigate documented revenue losses from past legislative changes.

Bill Passed Legislature · 2 edits
MINOR
The bill was certified as passed by the legislature in the 2025 session. The most significant substantive change is a reduction in the maximum lifespan of the regional center sales tax from 65 years to 55 years, meaning the tax will expire sooner than previously planned. Additionally, the bill added a new certification section to formally document its passage.
Scope change
The scope of the tax's duration was reduced, shortening the time period during which the tax can be collected.
TIMELINE

The maximum duration for collecting the regional center sales tax was changed from 65 years to 55 years after the tax first begins.

TECHNICAL

A new 'Certification of Enrollment' section was added to formally certify that the bill passed both the House and Senate.
