HB 1791: Vuln. children ed. opport.

Enhancing educational opportunities for vulnerable children and youth using funding distributed from the Puget Sound taxpayer accountability account.

Summary

  • Modifies the use of the Puget Sound Taxpayer Accountability (PSTA) account to include facilities and programs for children and youth that are low-income, homeless, or in foster care, or other vulnerable populations and to start endowments to support improving educational outcomes in early learning, K-12, and higher education.
  • Authorizes the Legislature to appropriate the PSTA account for expenditure in a county rather than a direct distribution if the county has not enacted the local mental health tax by July 1, 2019.
