Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
2 instruments in Washington. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.

▲Expands benefitsLowers the disabled veteran property tax exemption rating floor from 80 to 40 percent.
Amended RCW 84.36.381 so a veteran receiving VA compensation at a combined service-connected evaluation of 40 percent or more qualifies, for taxes levied for collection in 2027 and thereafter. Approved May 7, 2025; effective July 27, 2025. There is no 60 percent step for 2026, which some secondary sites report.
