Undoing the recent changes to the estate tax. (REVISED FOR ENGROSSED: Undoing certain changes to the estate tax.)

This bill restores Washington's pre-2025 estate tax rates by amending the tax calculation tables in law. It directly affects estates of decedents dying in Washington with taxable assets exceeding $1 million, reversing recent increases implemented in 2025. The key provision replaces current tax brackets with historical rates, such as lowering the tax rate for estates between $2 million and $3 million from 17% to 15% for deaths after July 2026. The change ensures the state's estate tax aligns with rates in effect before July 1, 2025, without altering federal tax relationships.
