2026 legislative priorities

Ecology is considering the concepts below to propose to the Governor’s Office as agency request legislation for the 2026 Legislative Session. To further develop and vet these concepts, Ecology will be seeking input on these proposals this summer ahead of our submittal deadline in September. In addition, as a covered agency under the HEAL Act (Chapter 70A.02 RCW), we are required to consult with Tribes and do an Environmental Justice Assessment. We will be conducting outreach to and engagement with Tribes and overburdened communities this summer.
