WMS Bill Headed for Governor's Desk

The Federation-initiated bill bringing transparency to the Washington Management Service is headed to the governor’s desk.

The House on Monday night concurred, or agreed to, the amendments tacked on by the Senate. The vote was 95-0.

The bill, ESHB 2049, now goes to the governor for her signature into law. Call the governor at 1-800-562-6000 and urge her to sign ESHB 2049.

The bill requires the Director of the Department of Personnel to report to the governor annually on the number of classified, Washington Management Service, and exempt employees; the number of bonuses and performance-based incentives awarded to agency staff; and the cost of each bonus or incentive awarded.
