The bill establishes the Washington Guaranteed Admissions Program aimed at increasing access to higher education for high school students. It mandates participation from regional universities, state colleges, and tribal institutions starting in the 2026-27 academic year, while allowing institutions to opt out by providing reasons and alternative initiatives to the legislature. The program will simplify the admissions application process and require collaboration between educational institutions to determine eligibility criteria. Additionally, the Washington School Information Processing Cooperative will collect data on students in grades 11 and 12 who meet the eligibility criteria to facilitate guaranteed admissions.

Furthermore, the bill requires school districts and educational providers to enter into data-sharing agreements to support the transfer of student data to participating institutions. It also mandates the creation and dissemination of informational notices regarding various educational programs, including the Washington Guaranteed Admissions Program, to students and their parents or guardians. This notice must be provided at the beginning of the school year and includes an opt-out option for parents regarding the admissions program. The bill emphasizes collaboration among various educational entities to enhance student awareness and access to higher education resources.
