Civics 101: What s A Substitute Bill? An Engrossed Bill?

The Washington and Idaho legislatures are moving into the final weeks of their 2021 sessions. Citizens interested in specific bills can track them online using their assigned bill numbers. Those rarely change. But sometimes in Washington the letters attached to bills do change, and they provide clues as to the bills’ legislative journeys. In Olympia, when a bill is introduced and put into written form, it is given a simple name. In the Senate, it’s SB, for Senate Bill, and a four-digit number. In the House, it’s HB and a four-digit number. When a bill is changed in some way, the letters may change too.
