LEGISLATURE 2025-26: 2025 Washington State Legislative Scorecard
Future 42, a non profit organization focused on “making Washington a place to prosper,” announced its 2025 legislative scorecard on June 3, 2025.
Future 42 is releasing a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive scorecard highlighting key votes taken by the 146 legislators during the 2025 legislative session. This information is critical in order to ensure that Washingtonians are informed on bills which were passed, how those bills will impact their lives, and who voted for/against those bills.
The 2025 Washington State legislative session included debate and action on several key bills which will affect the daily lives of Washingtonians. This year was a “long session” of 105 days and included the passage of the capital budget, the biennial $78 billion state operating budget, and the transportation budget/tax package in addition to several policy bills. While there were over 2,000 bills proposed during the legislative session, this Future 42 legislative scorecard focuses on the 19 which are most consequential and that received votes on the floor of the House, Senate, or both.
These 19 bills have been broken into four categories:
- Public Safety – does this bill make our state safer and more livable?
- Regulations – does this bill foster an environment for our citizens and business to thrive?
- Taxes – does this bill lower the tax burden on Washingtonians?
- Good Government – does this bill promote transparency and responsible, competent delivery of core government services?
If the answer to the above questions is “no,” a vote for that bill is scored negatively and a vote against it is scored positively – and vice versa.
Gov. Bob Ferguson signed each bill featured in this scorecard into law except ones that did not reach his desk, which were HB 1113, SB 5278, and SB 5810.
