Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

More peer support for brain injury recovery

Beginning July 27, 2025, at least 30% of yearly brain injury account spending must support in-person groups and community activities. Separately, at least 30% of yearly revenue from the $10 traffic fee is reserved for specified peer-led supports. These include in-person groups, skills training across ages, mentoring, hospital-to-community help, and fair access in urban and rural areas. Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services must prioritize peer interaction over disproportionate funding for virtual-only or non-peer department-affiliated programs. The brain injury council must review and approve yearly funding plans. The department must seek federal money with the council; it must supplement fee revenue without replacing existing state support funding. The department and council must also provide online outreach explaining these services and their benefits for people with brain injuries and families.

Higher traffic fees for Washington drivers

Beginning July 27, 2025, Washington’s brain injury fee rises from $5 to $10 for each traffic infraction. You pay this fee when found to have committed an infraction. Courts cannot reduce or waive it. The money goes into the state’s traumatic brain injury account.
