Washington Senate passes bill to pause new long-term care tax
The Washington Senate voted Wednesday to delay the implementation of the state's new long-term care payroll tax to address solvency concerns and other issues raised about the first-in-the-nation defined benefit.
The bill previously passed by the House now heads to Gov. Jay Inslee's desk for final approval. Inslee previously asked for a delay in the program after lawmakers "identified some areas that need adjustments."
Inslee is expected to sign the bill Friday.
The tax was set to start this month but is now delayed until July 1, 2023.
