HB 1210 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Concerning targeted urban area tax preferences.

HB 1210 modifies existing targeted urban area tax preferences, primarily to include "clean energy transformation businesses." The bill defines these businesses as those involved in nuclear operations, green or renewable hydrogen production equipment, or high-voltage energy storage equipment. It allows cities to grant these specific businesses up to two additional 24-month extensions to complete projects under the tax preferences, beyond the standard extension period. Additionally, the bill updates the requirements for receiving an exemption, emphasizing verification of community workforce agreements, post-construction family living wage jobs, and compliance with prevailing wage and apprentice standards during construction.
