HB 2200 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Increasing access to data related to the safety and stability of residential settings for individuals with developmental disabilities.

HB 2200 requires Washington's legislature to standardize and publicly share safety data for residential settings serving individuals with developmental disabilities. It directs a review of safety metrics (like 911 calls, ER visits, and placement terminations) from 2022-2025 across state-operated facilities, state living alternatives, and private contracted settings (including group homes). The bill mandates a public dashboard by June 2027, showing comparative data on emergency service use and placement stability to help families and taxpayers evaluate options. This affects the Department of Social and Health Services (which must create the dashboard), residential providers (which must supply data), and families seeking transparent safety information. The dashboard will update annually with new data starting from 2026.

MODERATE
The bill was updated to reflect its progression from the House to a substitute version, extending the timeline for the legislative review and public reporting. The review period was shifted forward by one year to cover 2023-2026 instead of 2022-2025, and the final report deadline moved from December 2026 to December 2027. The requirement for a public-facing dashboard was replaced with an annual report to the legislature, with the first report due in September 2028, allowing more time for data standardization and methodology development.
Scope change
The scope of the data review was extended to include the period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2026, instead of the original 2022-2025 window.
TIMELINE

The data review period was extended from 2022-2025 to 2023-2026, and the deadline for the legislative review report was pushed back from December 1, 2026, to December 1, 2027.

The deadline for the first annual report was set to September 1, 2028, with data starting from January 1, 2027, instead of the previous December 2027 deadline with 2026 data.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement to create a public-facing dashboard was changed to producing an annual report to the legislature, which must be published on the department's website.

A new requirement was added for the review to include a recommended methodology for ongoing data collection, standardization, and comparison.

The specific mandate to establish a public-facing dashboard by June 1, 2027, was removed in favor of the annual reporting requirement.
