Washington students may find that they are paying less for their textbooks next year if the state Legislature passes a bill requiring publishers to disclose textbook prices to faculty. The bill, sponsored by Representative Bob Hasegawa (D-11) and Senator Derek Kilmer (D-26), was worked through legislative committees by students of WashPIRG and the Associated Students of the University of Washington. The bill would give faculty the information they need to choose the lowest cost versions of the course materials they require.
