WA Legislative Tracker 2026

What is a legislative cutoff?

The Washington State Legislature has deadlines called "cutoffs" during each session. These deadlines decide when bills must reach certain stages to stay alive.

Cutoffs that have passed

Feb 4 — Policy Committee (Origin): Bills still waiting for policy committee review in their starting chamber missed this deadline.

Feb 9 — Fiscal Committee (Origin): Bills stuck in a fiscal committee in their house of origin were cut off.

Feb 17 — House of Origin: Bills that hadn't passed a full floor vote in their starting chamber were cut off.

Feb 25 — Policy Committee (Opposite): Bills that passed their house of origin but hadn't cleared a policy committee in the opposite chamber were cut off.

Mar 4 — Fiscal Committee (Opposite): Bills stuck in a fiscal committee in the opposite chamber were cut off.

Mar 6 — Opposite House: Bills that hadn't passed a floor vote in the opposite chamber were cut off. Only bills that have passed both chambers remain active.

What does this mean?

• Active bills have passed both chambers and are awaiting final action (conference, governor's signature, etc.).
• Inactive bills missed one of these cutoffs and won't become law this session.
• Scroll down to see which bills missed each cutoff and are no longer active.

What's next?

The final deadline is Sine Die on March 12th — the last day of the 2026 regular session. All remaining legislative action must be completed by then.
