This bill addresses the academic and support needs of children of nonmigratory seasonal farmworkers in Washington State. It highlights the disparity between these children and those of migratory agricultural workers, who have access to federal support services. The legislature aims to commission a study to assess the needs of children of seasonal farmworkers and determine if they should receive similar academic and support services. The study will focus on various factors affecting these children, including school access, attendance, academic performance, and postsecondary opportunities.

The bill mandates that by June 1, 2025, the office of the superintendent of public instruction must report the study's findings to the legislature, including a proposed definition for "child of a seasonal farmworker" and recommendations for addressing their needs. Additionally, the departments of agriculture and labor and industries are required to collaborate on this study. The section of the bill will expire on August 1, 2026.
