Referred to Ways & Means.
Summary
The bill establishes a guaranteed‑admissions system for Washington’s public four‑year institutions, requiring them to simplify applications and set eligibility criteria for resident students. It also obligates high schools, charter schools, tribal schools and other education providers to use a statewide digital transcript system to share student data with participating colleges. The goal is to improve college access and equity while giving families the option to opt out of data sharing.
