WA SB6218

State Treasurer must submit an initial report within 60 days detailing any federal funds withheld from Washington due to state laws not invalidated by courts, funds withheld in violation of court decisions, and projected state payments to the federal government over the next 12 months, with monthly updates published online.

Director of the Office of Financial Management must direct state agencies to withhold payments to the federal government in amounts equal to federal funds withheld from the state, prioritizing withholdings from directly affected agencies and targeting senior leadership/management payments first.

Creates the "RECOURSE act escrow account" to hold withheld payments when federal-state disputes over state law constitutionality are pending court adjudication; funds are released to the federal government only after final court rulings.

Withheld funds not placed in escrow may be appropriated as state funds, up to the amount of federal funds withheld from Washington.

Declared an emergency measure taking effect immediately; officially titled the "Reciprocal Enforcement of Claims on Unpaid or Reduced State Entitlements Act" (RECOURSE Act).
