BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:8
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. (1) It is the intent of the legislature to 9
establish a claims commission within the office of administrative 10
hearings to address ballooning payments from the liability account, 11
also known as the self-insurance liability account. The liability 12
account is used to pay tort claims, judgments, and settlements 13
arising from general liability when the state is found to be wholly 14
or partially negligent. The legislature finds that there has been a 15
steep increase in the number and payouts of tort claims in recent 16
years following legislative changes and court rulings. As a result, 17
the liability account has been in a continuous and growing cash 18
deficit position.19
(2) The legislature finds that liability for the department of 20
children, youth, and families has increased exponentially, primarily 21

HOUSE BILL 2706
State of Washington 69th Legislature 2026 Regular Session
By Representative Ormsby; by request of Office of Financial
Management
Read first time 01/29/26. Referred to Committee on Civil Rights &
Judiciary.
p. 1 HB 2706
due to historical childhood abuse claims. In 2019, the state supreme 1
court decided H.B.H. v. State , 192 Wn.2d 154, which defined the 2
state's liability for childhood abuse claims. In fiscal year 2019, 3
the year of the ruling, 157 claims were filed against the department 4
of children, youth, and families. In fiscal year 2025, 1,455 claims 5
were filed against the department of children, youth, and families, 6
an increase of over 800 percent. Agency insurance premiums have not 7
been raised quickly enough to capture this dramatic increase in 8
cases. The liability account, the account used to pay the awards in 9
these cases, is facing a $1,300,000,000 to $1,400,000,000 shortfall 10
this fiscal biennium. 11
(3) The legislature intends to amend this deficit by creating a 12
claims commission designed to adjudicate historical claims against 13
the department of children, youth, and families, which would create 14
significant cost avoidance in the current fiscal biennium.15
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 4.92 RCW 16
to read as follows: 17
(1) There is hereby created a claims commission within the office 18
of administrative hearings. The commission has jurisdiction to 19
adjudicate claims against the state, or against the state's officers, 20
employees, or volunteers, acting in such capacity, for damages 21
arising out of tortious conduct that occurred prior to 2020 and that 22
is alleged against the department of children, youth, and families, 23
and the department's officers, employees, and volunteers.24
(2) The state shall have sovereign immunity from all tort claims 25
within the jurisdiction of the claims commission. Such claims must be 26
brought to the claims commission for resolution. 27
(3)(a) The claims commission shall receive and accept claims only 28
upon compliance with all of the requirements in RCW 4.92.100. The 29

as nominated by the Washington association for justice, a 37
representative of the department of enterprise services, a 38

file a court action on his or her claim. 17
(6) An aggrieved party that is unsatisfied with a final decision 18
of the claims commission may file for a trial de novo in superior 19
court pursuant to chapter 7.06 RCW. 20

shall comply with the presentment and filing requirements outlined in 22
RCW 4.92.100 and 4.92.110. 23

appealed the arbitrator's award has failed to improve that party's 11
position on the trial de novo, pursuant to MAR 7.3.12
(2) If no appeal has been filed at the expiration of ((twenty)) 13

unavailable individual is as effective as if taken by the unavailable 18

Sec. 5. RCW 34.12.040 and 2013 c 109 s 5 are each amended to 20
read as follows: 21
