Advisory votes

As required by RCW 43.135.041, two bills approved by the 2022 Legislature appear on the general election ballot as Advisory Votes to the People. OFM prepared and distributed a 10-year projection of the tax impacts of each of these bills, as required by RCW 43.135.031.
 

The difference between 10-year cost projections and fiscal notes

• A 10-year cost projection provides the cost estimate of a bill over a 10-year period. Cost estimates for each year are reported separately and include only tax or fee increases.
• A fiscal note provides the cost estimate of a bill over six years, grouped in two-year periods. A fiscal note includes other information about the bill not included in the 10-year cost projection. Fiscal note cost estimates may differ from the 10-year projection; where any difference exists, the 10-year projection represents the most up-to-date information.
