HB 2080 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting the Tesla tax or any other tax that applies to only one individual, business, or entity or a group of individuals affiliated with a singular business or entity.

House Bill 2080 aims to prevent the Washington state legislature from enacting taxes that specifically target a single individual, business, or entity. The bill prohibits the assessment of any new excise tax if it is intended to, or has the effect of, applying only to one specific individual, business, or a group of individuals affiliated with a singular business. This measure would ensure that state tax policy provides for common welfare rather than being used to target particular entities. It affects the state's ability to levy highly specific taxes and protects individual businesses from such targeted taxation.
