HB 2632 - DIGEST
(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

Moves government away from paying state agencies for process, and toward paying for actual accomplishment of measurable results.

Helps move more people out of dependence and into independent, livable wage jobs, by mandating that agencies work together in a coordinated and result-driven manner to improve services to Washingtonians.

Requires teamwork across multiple state agencies, including the department of social and health services, the department of commerce, the office of the superintendent of public instruction, the state board for community and technical colleges, and the employment security department.

Reverses the trend of the last thirty years and begins a gradual and sustained increase in the percentage of Washington households living in the middle-income bracket or above.
