• Community & Technical Colleges RCW
Streamlining (HB 1961 Passed)
• The 1991 legislation that transferred post-secondary vocational
education from K-12 to the two-year college system left it up to the
State Board to determine what tuition and waiver policies should
apply to the technical colleges.
• Over the next twenty years, the technical colleges slowly adopted
the same tuition schedules and waivers as the community colleges.
This bill integrates the technical colleges into existing tuition and
waiver statutes.
