Legislature wraps 2024 session and Gov. Inslee signs his last bill
Gov. Jay Inslee signed his last bill on March 29, 2024. With that, we can officially close the book on the 2024 legislative session. Many thanks to our state legislators for all the
hard work they put in on planning-related legislation this session and congratulations to our governor for reaching this pinnacle moment. <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5r

While 2024 was a short session, the Governor’s Office and the Legislature continued the momentum to improve the local planning environment and the Growth Management Act with a focus
on housing, urban growth areas (UGA) and more. Let’s reflect with planners around our great state on some of the major Growth Management-related highlights from the 2024 legislative
session:
Housing is still the priority
The Legislature passed a number of bills designed to increase the range of allowable housing types within cities. These bills followed the historic policy direction from last session
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29udGVudC5nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeS5jb20vYWNjb3VudHMvV0FET0MvYnVsbGV0aW5zLzM1ZDU4NjAiLCJidW

bills, the supplemental budget included more investments in affordable housing programs.
* HB 1998 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBwLmxlZy53YS5nb3YvYmlsbHN1bW1hcnk_QmlsbE51bWJlcj0xOTk4JlllYXI9MjAyMyZJb

to allow co-living housing as a permitted use on any lot within an urban growth area that allows at least six multifamily residential units, including on a lot zoned for mixed use development.
Co-living housing provides rental housing with private rooms that share common kitchen facilities. This housing type was historically common, but now is prohibited and/or has regulations
making it difficult to develop. As a result, cities and counties may not impose requirements on co-living housing, such as room dimensional standards larger than that required by the
state building code; providing a mix of unit sizes or number of bedrooms; and including other uses. A city or county may not have development regulations for co-living housing that
are more restrictive than those required for other types of multifamily residential uses in the same zone.

permit approval for housing projects.
* Additional outreach on STEP housing: The Legislature provided Commerce $600,000 to provide additional outreach and technical assistance to support the development of Supportive, Transitional,
Emergency and Permanent (STEP) housing. It also funds the provision of a third-party mediator to help resolve disputes between housing agencies and local governments over the siting
or permitting of STEP housing.
* Expanded training for new building inspectors and permit technicians: The Legislature provided additional funding to the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and the Washington
Association of Building Officials (WABO) to train new permit technicians and building inspectors.
Conversations we’re watching for next session
Over the last few sessions, the Legislature has commissioned several studies and deliberative processes to provide recommendations on how to achieve a number of policy priorities. The
following local planning-related studies and developments from the 2023 and 2024 sessions are likely to influence policy and funding discussions in the next legislative session.
* Integrating special purpose districts into the GMA: The Legislature commissioned a study to provide recommendations on how to integrate the planning work of special purpose districts
in the GMA. This work will occur over the next year and a half with recommendations to the Legislature due December 2025.
* Improving access to digital permitting: Last year, the Legislature commissioned a study to evaluate the creation of a statewide digital permitting system to facilitate the transition
from paper to digital permitting and accelerate local project review. The Commerce advisory committee has been hard at work considering this feasibility study and will have a report
with recommendations to the Legislature this summer.
* The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI): After the passage of SB 6120 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXNleHQu

are no longer required to adopt the Model Wildland-Urban Interface Code as anticipated. However, they may still do so under the advisement that the existing Washington State Department
of Natural Resources WUI map is no longer applicable. DNR is working on new maps.
* Streamlining Approval for Middle Housing: With the passage of HB 2071 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXN

66-l> directed the State Building Code Council to make adjustments to avoid application of new building and energy code standards to the nonresidential portion of existing buildings
when they are converted to a residential use. The Office of Regulatory Innovation and Assistance will work with local governments and the building industry to engage a qualified consultant
to develop a standard energy code plan set that exceeds energy code regulations. The optional plan set may be used by local governments, building officials, and building industries
to lower costs and streamline housing production.
* Creation of a state housing agency: The Office of Financial Management was tasked guiding the development of a pathway to evaluate the cost and feasibility of creating a new consolidated
state housing agency that would likely combine a number of state programs that relate to the provision of housing. These recommendations are due to the Legislature by December 1, 2024.
* Riparian habitat protection and restoration: The Legislature continued funding for a collaborative process with state and local governments, tribes, and stakeholders to make recommendations
on strategies to better integrate efforts to protect and restore riparian habitat for salmon and steelhead, including voluntary and regulatory strategies. This facilitators for the
process are required to provide recommendations to the Legislature in June 2024.
* Agritourism permitting: The Legislature commissioned a study of how other states regulate and permit agritourism. The study includes how to bring advocates of interested groups together
to resolve outstanding issues about permitting in agricultural areas for the sale of beer, wine and cider, and the use of agricultural buildings for tourism purposes. A Commerce-led
report to the Legislature is due by June 30, 2025.
