HB 2120 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Modifying joint legislative audit and review committee work plans to ensure efficient use of staff resources.

This bill (HB 2120) modifies reporting requirements for two separate programs, not the audit committee's work plans as the title suggests. It updates rules for how municipalities use lodging tax revenues (requiring applicants to estimate travel impacts and report actual visitor numbers) and mandates the Employment Security Department to report annually on training benefits program outcomes, including participant demographics, employment results, and program costs. The bill affects municipalities receiving lodging tax funds, tourism organizations, and the Employment Security Department. Key provisions require detailed annual reports on lodging tax usage and biennial reviews of training benefits by the joint legislative audit committee. The mismatch between the title and actual content appears to be an error in the bill's designation.
