Increases the annual limit of services and activities fees at Washington institutions of higher education.

Washington HB1485 aims to increase the annual limit of services and activities fees at institutions of higher education to help offset rising costs. These fees, which cover services like student health, counseling, and cultural events, can now be raised by a percentage not exceeding the annual increase in student tuition fees for resident undergraduate students. This change does not apply to fees committed to repaying bonded debt. The bill allows governing boards to increase fees annually, up to six percent, based on actual percentage of total tuition fees.
