*January 18th, 2022 Update*

During last week’s executive session of Washington’s House Appropriations Committee, action was taken on both **HB 1732** (to delay the program by 18-months) and **HB 1733** (to add classes of exempt individuals).

Final passage of these amendments will likely happen before the end of the month -- they both require full House & Senate votes and the Governor’s signature.

Here’s an article from Friday in a local newspaper that summarizes the actions -- [https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/jan/14/house-panel-votes-to-delay-washingtons-long-term-c/](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/jan/14/house-panel-votes-to-delay-washingtons-long-term-c/)
