The House Democrats’ most notable successes, representing major education and health care reforms as well as initiatives to spur economic development include: Children’s Health (SB 5093) Full-day kindergarten (Budget ) Dropout prevention (HB 1573) Opportunity Grants (HB 1096) Simple Majority approval of school district levies (HJR 4204) Foster care package (HB 1333, 1334, 1287, 1716, 1131, 1922, and 1201) Energy freedom expansion (HB 1303) Puget Sound Partnership (HB 1374) Expanding mental health parity (HB 1460) Tax cuts for agriculture (HB 1902) Eminent domain reform (HB 1458) Community Development Fund (HB 2325)
