I read through highlights of budget and NO MENTION of removing the tax exemption on hybrid vehicles. The senate might meet again but probably not for a while, most are saying they will deal with other bills that did not get dealt with in December. This is the approved budget as of now though, from what I can gather.

If anyone finds anything different, PLEASE POST IT HERE!!

Otherwise, looks like WA state 2010 prius buyers are good to go and can hold out for what they want without risking tax cost!! WOHOOO!!!!
