Washington students may find that they pay less for their textbooks next year, thanks to legislation that was passed unanimously yesterday in the Senate. The bill (SHB 2300) was sponsored by Bob Hasegawa (D-11), and Derek Kilmer (D-26), and was strongly backed by students across the state.

The Senate was its last stop before being signed into law by the Governor.
